Blue, brown, and green beetles from a forest migrated to a rocky mountain after a natural disaster. In the new environment, brow

n beetles can camouflage themselves from predators better than the green beetles and blue beetles can. Which outcome is most likely for the future population of beetles?
Most beetles will be blue and green because predators rely on them for food.



Most of the beetles will be brown because they have a higher likelihood of reaching reproductive age.



The distribution of the three colors will be equal to preserve genetic variance in the population.



The bodies of the offspring will have all three colors because body color is an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern.

Answer: Most of the beetles will be brown because they have a higher likelihood of reaching reproductive age.

Natural selection is the process of selection by nature in which an individual organism exhibiting more favorable phenotypic characteristics has more chances of survival and reproduction in it's corresponding environment.

In the new environment, brown beetles can camouflage themselves from predators better than the green beetles and blue beetles can. This is because of the fact that brown color of beetle is a better phenotypic trait which favors the survival of brown beetles over green and blue color. Therefore, the survived brown beetles will reproduce and grow in number.

The second one I guess,because if only the brown beetles can protect themselves from predators than later on the blue and green beetles might go extinct and only the brown ones will survive.........I think so..

N76 [4]

Answer: The Tigris-Euphrates river system, where Mesopotamia started, was an area prone to frequent flooding. The flooding deposited valuable silt onto the land and enabled crops to be grown and harvested in surplus. This was the first time farmers had an excess of what they needed. The surrounding land was devoid of most other raw materials, such as wood, stone and metal. To get these materials, the early Mesopotamians resorted to trade. At these gathering hubs, people began constructing buildings, which formed the basis for the first cities to appear and helped civilizations continue to develop.

kogti [31]

Answer:

The best term that portrays the highlights of an american robin with its nearby family members is autapomorphy.  

An autapomorphy is a particular component that is remarkable to a given taxon. In the given case, this component is block red gut and dark back. This component is seen in just the american robin species and not related species in the family.  

Apomorphy is characterizes as a novel trans-formative attribute that is one of a kind to a specific animal categories and every one of its relatives and which can be utilized as a characterizing character for an animal groups or gathering in phylogenetic terms. For instance ownership of quills is an element one of a kind to flying creatures and is a characteristic that characterizes all the individuals from the Ave's class.  

Synapomorphy is a trademark present in a tribal species and shared solely by its trans-formative relatives.  

A plesiomorphy or symplesiomorphy is a tribal character or attribute state shared by at least two taxa​.

1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure

2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy

3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure

4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology

5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist

6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics

7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation

8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness

9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure

10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography
