Spread of disease is density dependent because it is more severe the greater the population density as the disease would spread more easily. If there is low population density it would spread slower.

Fossils show that ancestors of the giraffe had shorter necks than the modern giraffe. The evolution of the modern giraffe may be
MaRussiya [10]

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.

Which of the following best describes a response in which the roots show a positive tropic response and the shoots show a negati
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: 3. gravitropism

The movement of plants in response to stimuli is called as tropism. Plants respond to different stimuli like light (phototropism), water present in the soil (hydrotropism), gravity (gravitropism) and touch (thigmotropism).

Gravitropism refers the growth and movement of plant parts with respect to the force of gravity exerted by earth. The roots shows positive gravitational tropism because they are growing towards earth gravity. The shoots or stems shows negative gravitational tropism because they are moving or growing against the gravity.
