Hurricanes (also known as typhoons or cyclones, depending on the location on Earth where they form) are often associated with extremely powerful winds and torrential rains. I am not sure about the pressure, but the only option here that mentions both strong winds and a lot of rain is A. low pressure, high winds, high precipitation, so I'd say that is the correct answer.
1 - introduced to a habitat similar to their own
3 - outcompete native species
4 - generally have no native predators
6 - often have high reproductive rates
8 - can tolerate a range of conditions
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.
Answer:
The brackish water adaptation is clearly necessary because the aquatic snails need to live in an environment in which the river system has a higher quantity of salt than what land snails can take. I can determine that the environmental factors influenced the inherited adaptations because the second population has a higher salt concentration in their habitat compared to the initial population.
Double helix is the correct answer
