Answer:

A) Turkey feet grass

Explanation:

Grassland biome is one of the biomes that makes up the Earth's biosphere. Due to the characteristics of this biome (grassland), it favours the abundance of grass species over trees and shrubby plants. These characteristics include a low annual rainfall, soil's susceptibility to wind erosion etc.

Based on these characteristics, an organism that will thrive in this biome must be structurally adapted to it. This is the case of the Turkey feet grass mentioned in the question. The Turkey feet grass possess very deep roots to prevent soil loss in windy areas, and to help anchor the plant. This is as a result of soil loss common to the soil of grassland biomes.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A) Hummingbirds drinking nectar from a plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples of natural selection: In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs.

Pretty easy question (s) but I am not good at explaining things so I need help
luda_lava [24]

I'm guessing the rocket scenario is the first one and the asteroid one is the last. That being said...

1) The fuel in the rocket provides it with the energy it needs to propel itself into space. The rocket throttles at the bottom, allow it to break free from the earth's gravity by pushing against the earth's greater mass.

2) If you are inside of the bus, in a fixed spot not moving, and the bus is moving. That means you are moving in the same direction as the bus. If it stops, you're still moving at the speed that it was once originally moving at. Obviously, since you weigh less than the bus you are going to fly forwards.

3) There is no gravity or friction in space, so items won't slow down no matter what. Even if an object such as a meteor is flung into space with the tiniest bit of force it will keep flying through space at a consistent speed, since there's nothing to slow it down... unless it hits something else.

4) Looking back at the previous answer, the asteroid is flying through space at a consistent speed (which is really fast). Suddenly it comes in close range to the moon which is bigger in size, and thus has a stronger gravitational pull, and pulls the asteroid into it's field.
