I would say that the answers are: 'large variation' and 'smaller'. A population of finches with a large variation in genotype, and therefore phenotype, for beak size would allow the population to adapt to changing food availability. The increase in small seeds within their environment would provide a selective advantage to individuals with smaller beaks, as they would be more deft at handling the seeds.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1. Surface (substratum) is preconditioned by environment molecules.

4. Microbes attach and detach from the preconditioned surface.

2.Quorum sensing and the establishment of the extracellular matrix commences as microbes attach more stably.

3. Biofilm matures and some microorganisms escape to the plank-tonic state.

Explanation:

Biofilm is a process in which microorganism irreversibly attach and grow on the surface to produce extra cellular polymers that facilitate formation of matrix. The biofilm process takes three days for the formation after which thickness of plaque increases. There are 4 main steps in biofilm formation. Surface is preconditioned by environment molecules. The microbes attach the preconditioned surface. Establishment of extra cellular matrix and finally biofilm matures.

Sperm tails in the fruit fly Drosophila bifurca can reach up to 6cm long, which is over 20 times the length of the organism itse
spayn [35]

Explanation:

The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca. </em>

In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:

1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.

2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.

3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.
