During a presentation about evolution a student claims that modern giraffes inherited their long necks from ancestral giraffes t

hat stretched their necks to reach for leaves on tall trees.
Choose the sentence that best describes the claim.

A.) Stretching the neck causes gene mutations that can result in an even longer neck. These genes are then passed on to the giraffe's offspring.
B.) Stretching the neck enabled giraffes to reach higher, which gives them an advantage to survive, reproduce, and pass on this trait.
C.) Ancestral giraffes had longer necks than modern giraffes, so the claim is not supported by research.

Hi!


The answers would be 1. (D) and 2. (B)


<h3>Explanation of Answer 1</h3>

Ice cores are in essence drilled cylinders that are acquired from glaciers or ice sheets. Ice sheets and glaciers are formed over many years as a result of deposits of snow layers. As these layers form, the lower layers become denser with each new layer, owing to pressure, and in the process it traps the air, which is preserved in the form of bubbles in the layer, therein preserving the composition of the air at a particular period of time. Scientists use ice cores to compare the atmospheric composition of previous years to those of recent years, and the gas mainly studied is carbon dioxide owing to its bringing about a climatic change.


<h3>Explanation of Answer 2</h3>

The Earth's orbit is caused by the gravitational attraction that is present between the Earth and the Sun, but changes due to the shape of the orbit (eccentricity), the wobble of the Earth about its axis (precession), and the axial tilt of the Earth (obliquity). These cause a change in the Earths orbit, which give rise to Milankovitch's cycles. Milankovitch's Cycles describes a revolutionary movement of the Earth around the Sun. These cycles are observed to be determinants of the climate of the Earth, in the regard of how much heat or energy the Earth is exposed to.

Answer:

Okay let me break this down, so you have a pure red and pure white feathered chicken meaning that the chickens have homologous alleles. Overtime, as you breed the two you may get multicolored chickens but they can carry the recessive white feathers alleles (FWFW) meaning that they can still produce all white chickens and they can continuously do that over generations. Selective breeding may be negative because you may not get the desired result, you could breed for the wrong traits, other characteristics are lost and the resulting population is very similar. Less genetic variation can cause the chickens to not be resistant to problems like diseases and could fall ill.
