Answer:
B. Directional selection
Explanation:
When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.
Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.
C. can't make their own food.
Fungi are considered to be more closely related to animals rather than plants because they
NOT:
A. are photosynthetic. B. aren't mobile. <span>D. are multicellular.</span>
2. detritivores are decomposes because they consume other material to break it down.
3. need to see the image on p.591 to answer but a producer is a type of plant that supplies energy to a first level consumer, a detritivore would be a type of fungi that is pictured because fungi break down materials.
4. the first box is mutualism. second box is commensalism. third box is parasitism.
Answer:
Environmental factors such as diet, temperature, oxygen levels, humidity, light cycles, and the presence of mutagens can all impact which of an animal's genes are expressed, which ultimately affects the animal's phenotype.
