In ostriches, there are 2 types: ones that run fast and those that run slowly. The fast birds can reach up to 40 miles an hour.
liraira [26]

Answer:

Natural selection will select the type of ostriches that can run up to 40 mph.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, organisms with favorable traits following their environment are more likely to reproduce. In doing so, they pass on the better traits to their next generation for the survival of their species.

This process allows organisms to adapt to their environment. And the survival of species is assured.

Here, the type of ostriches that run slow probably fall prey to the jackals. To maintain survival, the ostriches reproduce and lay eggs. If out of almost a dozen eggs, one or two are left to hatch than the <em><u>chances of their survival</u></em> will greatly be affected if the hatching ostriches are of the <em>slow-running type</em>.

Therefore, natural selection may stay in favor of <em>fast-running ostriches</em> to hatch.

Importance of plants from an economic, nutritional, environmental and medicinal point of view
Inga [223]

Answer:

Plants are extremely important in the lives of people throughout the world. People depend upon plants to satisfy such basic human needs as food, clothing, shelter, and health care. These needs are growing rapidly because of a growing world population, increasing incomes, and urbanization .

Plants provide food directly, of course, and also feed livestock that is then consumed itself. In addition, plants provide the raw materials for many types of pharmaceuticals, as well as tobacco, coffee, alcohol, and other drugs. The fiber industry depends heavily on the products of cotton, and the lumber products industry relies on wood from a wide variety of trees (wood fuel is used primarily in rural areas). Approximately 2.5 billion people in the world still rely on subsistence farming to satisfy their basic needs, while the rest are tied into increasingly complex production and distribution systems to provide food, fiber, fuel, and other plant-derived commodities .

Medicinal plants have been used in healthcare since time immemorial. Studies have been carried out globally to verify their efficacy and some of the findings have led to the production of plant-based medicines. The global market value of medicinal plant products exceeds $100 billion per annum. This paper discusses the role, contributions and usefulness of medicinal plants in tackling the diseases of public health importance, with particular emphasis on the current strategic approaches to disease prevention. A comparison is drawn between the ‘whole population’ and ‘high-risk’ strategies. The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted.
