"With its systematic approach, the scientific method has proven useful in shaping sociological studies. The scientific method provides a systematic, organized series of steps<span> that help ensure objectivity and consistency in exploring a social problem. They provide the means for accuracy, reliability, and validity."

The correct answer is letter A. The statement above is true that when animals eat the same type of food they are categorized in the same niche. Niches are ecological communities or ecosystems where specific organisms thrive and fit. Their evolutionary processes are also a result of these different niches found within the environment.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
As in a given cross two genes control the height and flower color. Tall height (T) is dominant over the short height (t) and yellow flowers (Y) are dominant over the white flower (y).
When the tall yellow flowered mated with short white flowers, the genotype of the plants can be;
TTYY × ttyy or It can be TtYy × ttyy or TTYy × ttyy or TtYY × ttyy
If we talk about guinea pigs, the trait of hair length is controlled by a gene with two alleles.
Allele for short hair (S) is dominant on the allele for the long hair (s).
The texture of hair texture is controlled by a gene with two alleles. It can be rough or smooth, and the allele for rough hair (R) is dominant on allele for smooth hair (r).
Now coming towards the question:
- A female guinea pig is heterozygous for hair texture and homozygous recessive for hair length.
Phenotype of the female will be Rough and long hair.
- A male guinea pig is homozygous dominant for hair texture and hair length.
Phenotype of the male will be Rough and short hair.
Hope it help!
In order for natural selection to take place we must have "variety in a population". This variety of traits is what allows natural selection to "pick" the most favorable traits.
