Giraffes with short necks lived in arid regions. Over time, grasses disappeared, forcing giraffes to eat from trees. Mutations i

n the genome led to some giraffes inheriting the trait for long necks. Over time, there were more giraffes with long necks in the region. What are the two reasons for the change in the population of giraffes? (More than one answer)
- adaptation?
- artificial selection?
- natural selection?
- harmful genetic traits?

I think it would be adaptation and natural selection because both the terms are when an animal adapts to their environment. I hope this helps!

Answer: adaptation

natural selection

Natural selection refers to the differential survival of the organisms in the population. It describe the fact that individual that have favorable phenotypic characteristics have better chances of survival over others in the changing environment. Adaptation is a genetic change or mutation that helps organism to survive in it's ecological niche. Due to the helpful nature of these genetic changes they are passed down from one generation to the next generation and favors the survival and abundance of a species.

Adaptation and natural selection has resulted in the change in the population of the giraffes. The giraffes being in short neck adapted the increase in neck length with an effort to obtain leaves from tall tries. The long neck giraffe got the better chances of survival and reproduction, due to natural selection the trait was passed on to generation. This resulted in the evolution of long neck giraffe species.

How do we find the number of electrons in an atom?
Anon25 [30]

I Believe this is the right answer:

Get a periodic table of elements. ...

Find your element on the periodic table. ...

Locate the element's atomic number. ...

Determine the number of electrons. ...

Look for the atomic mass of the element. ...

Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Hoped this helped!

Which of the following equations does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?
enot [183]

The third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Option 3.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the sum of the masses of reactants should be equal to the sum of the masses of the products.

For example, if we consider the first option to verify if it obeys law of conservation of mass or not, 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

So one way to verify it is to find the mass of Na, then multiply it with 2, and then add this with 2 times of mass of chlorine. So this sum should be equal to the 2 times mass of NaCl. But it is somewhat lengthy.

Another way to easily determine this is to check if the elements are present equally in both sides. Such as, in reactant side and product side 2 atoms of Na is present . Similarly, the Cl atoms are also present in equal number in both reactant and product side. Thus this obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

Like this, if we see the second option, there also 1 atom of Na is present in reactant and product side and 2 molecules of H is present in reactant and product side, 1 oxygen is present in reactant and product side and 1 Cl is present in reactant and product side. So it also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

But in the third option, P₄ + 5 O₂→ 2 P₄O₁₀, here, there is 4 atoms of P in reactant side but in product side there is (4*2) = 8 atoms of P. Similarly, the number of atoms of oxygen in reactants and product side is also not same. So the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

The fourth option also obeys the law of conservation of mass as the number of atoms of each element is same in both the product and reactant side.

Thus, the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.
