Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment.
A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up.
In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.
<span>The mouse and rabbit both have a competitive relationship. They both have a place in a similar class. They are in the group of mammalia. There are environmental connections of which two are oppositional and four are harmonious. The oppositional connections are predation and rivalry.</span>
Answer:
When blood clotting is activated, fibrinogen circulating in the blood is converted to fibrin, which in turn helps to form a stable blood clot at the site of vascular disruption.
I hope this answer helps you out. If you have any questions let me know. Have a good day :).
Answer: 25% of the offsprings will be heterozygous for both traits
Explanation: A cross between BbFf and bbff will yield 16 offsprings with four different possible genotypes: BbFf, Bbff, bbFf, and bbff. Only BbFf is the genotype that is heterozygous for both traits, and there are four offsprings with BbFf genotype.
Therefore the percentage of the offsprings that are heterozygous for both traits is 4/16 x 100 = 25%

Answer: The correct answer is -
D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.
Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.
According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.
Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).
This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.
