Fossils show that ancestors of the giraffe had shorter necks than the modern giraffe. The evolution of the modern giraffe may be
MaRussiya [10]

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.

All foods can be measured on the pH scale to determine if they have the right amount of acidity to support bacteria growth. 7.0
ZanzabumX [31]

In fact, there are bacteria that grow in all kinds of pH, from the most acidic to the bad alkaline. Depending on the pH at which they live, bacteria can be classified as neutrophil, acidophilic and alkalineophilic.

But in general, when we talk about bacteria that are present in foods, they tend to grow in a pH range between 5 and 9, so they are considered as <u>neutrophil</u>. This can vary by species and other factors such as temperature and available nutrients.
