Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>

Gene S controls the sharpness of spines in a type of cactus. Cactuses with the dominant allele, S, have sharp spines, whereas ho
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Sharp-spined cactus

Explanation:

Given, that N allele is required for the production of spine and S allele will produce sharp sines.

True breeding sharp spined cactus: NNSS

spineless cactus: nn__ ( we can't fix the allele for second gene since it has not been mentioned as true breeding )

Their progeny: NNSS X nn__ = NnS_

So the progeny is going to be sharp spined because both the dominant alleles N and S are present.

Is the only thing that is not living
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The main difference between living and non-living things is that a living organism is or was once alive, whereas a non-living thing has never been alive. Non-living is not the same as being dead because non-living things were never alive and therefore cannot die.
