A small town is located near a body of water and enjoys cooler temperatures than other areas in the same climate zone. This is an example of a microclimate
Explanation:
- The microclimate is nothing but experiencing a different temperature, which is restricted to a certain area only. It might be experiencing a lower temperature in comparison with the surrounding regions.
- The dry climate is experiencing a very high temperature and polar climate is nothing but a region where there are no warm summers and the temperature would be less than 10 degree Celsius.
- Climate zones are characterized by distinct parameters and these are found near the poles
Answer:
1. Green beetles and red beetles exist in the environment.
2. Birds that eat the beetles move into the environment.
3. Red beetles are eaten by birds, but green beetles aren’t eaten.
4. Green beetles pass on their color trait to future offspring.
5. The entire population of beetles eventually becomes green in color.
Explanation:
According to the theory of natural selection, only those species survives which fits closely with their environment. According to the conditions given, there are two genetic variations of the same species based on the color, i.e. green and red. Initially, both red and green are living together in a grassland (green in color). Then, birds enter the same environment because they have food there (beetles). Now, green beetles will take a competitive advantage because of the color and avoid getting eaten by the birds. However, red beetles would be prominent and eaten fast. The green beetles will pass on their genetic variation causing the color to be green in their future offspring and a time will come when there will be on green beetles in the area.
