Answer:  Option B

Explanation:

Differential selection took place during the time when all the long necked giraffe survived in the area of Africa and all the giraffe that has short neck died.

Directional selection can be defined as the type of the selection in which the the most extreme phenotype is selected over the other phenotype.

In this case when the grasses having short height was consume then the giraffes having long neck was selected over short neck.

Answer:

B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died

Explanation:

The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.

In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

The formula F = ma shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Solve this formula for a.
LuckyWell [14K]

The answer is D. This means that is you have a determined amount of force (in newtons) being applied on an object of known mass (in kilograms), then to determine the acceleration of the object, divide the force by the mass (or multiplying the force with the inverse of the mass of the object). This behavior of objects is stipulated in Newtons/ second law. Increasing the force increases the acceleration while increasing the mass decreases the acceleration of the object. Acceleration is a vector quantity meaning it has magnitude and direction.

EFFECTS OF NUTRIENTS (IN FOOD) ON THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: UPDATE ON DIETARY REQUIREMENTS FOR BRAIN. PA
klemol [59]

It main aim to give an overview about the effect of dietary nutrients on the structure and functions of brain. Brain which is elaborated from substances present in the diet such as vitamins, essential amino acids, fatty acids, omega-3 , etc.

Micronutients ( vitamins, trace- elements) have been directly evaluated in the setting of cerebral functioning. Nervous tissues use glucose to produces the energy and implies the presence of vitamin B1 , which perform cogitative functions, specifically in elderly. Vitamin B9 , which preserve the brain during its development .

Genetic potential of children for their physical growth and mental development may compromised due to deficiency of micronutrients. Their poor nutritional status are exposed to alterations of mental and behavioral functions that can corrected by dietary measure.
