I believe this adaptation of the blue poppies to their environment is due to directional selection.  Directional selection refers to the mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of the favored phenotype. In our case the plants with the thickest leaves were favored as they were more adaptable and in the end there was a shift to this characteristic by other plants.

For each of the following, circle the word that does not belong belong with the rest and then in ONE complete sentence, explain
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: the words that doesn't belong include:

1.) Power

2.) Deforestation

Explanation:

1.) Coal, Oil, Solar and Natural Gas are considered to be sources of energy while POWER is not considered among the rest this is because it's energy in action and not a source of energy.

Coal, oil and natural gas are known as fossil fuels which are the most common sources of energy in industries and homes. These fossil fuels are destroyed by use, that is, they cannot be recovered. Alternative sources of energy is the solar which is gotten from the sun energy. Although not considered a very efficient energy producer, there are already discovered schemes that would provide us with an inexhaustible supply of energy which would also not cause any pollution problems.

2.) Biodegradable, Recycling and Sustainability are means by which pollution is being avoided in the environment. While DEFORESTATION is a process that can cause pollution of an environment, therefore it doesn't fit into the rest of other words.

Biodegradable materials can be broken down by microorganism. Examples include human and animal excreta. Recycling is the reprocessing of waste materials in order to be re-used. This reduces the amount of waste that are sent to incinerators. While sustainability is the maintenance of the ecosystem to remain diverse and productive over time. This could be seen in the preferred use of renewable energy over non renewable energy. But deforestation is the massive cutting down of trees which can cause soil erosion and climate changes leading to the pollution of the environment.

What characteristics do all producer in common
Luda [366]

Answer:

they give the nutrients to the primary consumers.

Explanation:

producers are like-plants that are consumed by deer/bunnies etc. All those nutrients will decrease at the upper levels at the food chain so they have to have enough nutrients to keep the animals alive and healthy. When the lion eats the deer ( it was an example) some of the nutrients and minerals that the deer ate from the plant will be consumed by the lion while its being eaten.
