Answer:

D-

Explanation:

Plant needles were a beneficial mutation that increased survival of certain plants that reproduced and passed the mutated gene to offspring. Darwin stated that genetic variation is the driving force behind evolution. Variation is enhanced by mutations, no matter how they occur. Mutations caused the leaf variation; the variation allowed some plants to survive and then reproduce, passing the allele for thinner leaves with a thick cuticle to the next generation.

Evolution Due to environmental factors, It may not look it, but, needles are leaves, they collect solar radiation to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, however, needles are, some would say, evolutionary superior to leaves. Needles themselves hold in more water due to their dense wax coating, they are very difficult for insects and other organisms to eat, one because of their structure, and two because of their acidity, they can catch sunlight all year long due to their winter resilience( they don't fall, during the winter), and they have less surface area for wind to catch, which leaves them better protected from wind than most deciduous trees, however the surface area can also pose a larger problem for less surface area means less sunlight interception, therefore more are needed to compete against regular leaves. But.. I Digress... Plant needles are 'PROBABLY' initially the result of evolution of narrow leaves due to climate or environmental factors. 

Sry its so long got carried away! Hope this helps xD

Explain how the amount of available energy changes as energy moves up a food chain.
Kamila [148]
As animals move up in the food chain they start to have larger competition for food with other animals, deer compete with elk and even rodents that eat the same food as them. They must fight for food and survival.

. What characteristics of this Royal Pedigree fit with the expectations for an X-linked, recessive disorder?
denis-greek [22]

X-linked recessive disorders are typically common in males than in females as seen in the Royal pedigree.

<h3>What are X-linked recessive disorders?</h3>

X-linked recessive disorders are disorders which occur as a result of a mutation in the X chromosome.

X-linked recessive disorders are typically common in males than in females.

Females can be carriers but males are always affected when the mutation is present.
