Answer:

c. Coastal snakes have a genetically acquired taste for banana slugs.

Explanation:

<em>The most plausible explanation is that coastal snakes have a genetically acquired taste for banana slugs.</em>

Some traits or abilities are acquired as a result of the interaction of organisms with the environment while some are innate or genetically acquired. While the former are referred to environmentally acquired traits, the latter are referred to as genetically acquired traits.

<em>Genetically acquired abilities are automatically learned and requires no learning or previous experience while environmentally acquired abilities are learned and usually vary with the type of environment.</em>

Hence, for young, inexperienced coastal snakes to readily eat slug, it means such ability is innate and genetically acquired.

The correct option is c.

Explain in detail, the flow of blood through the heart. Someone please help
Serggg [28]

As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic, muscular tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.

Blood is essential. In addition to carrying oxygen from the lungs and nutrients to your body's tissues, it also takes the body's waste, including carbon dioxide, away from the tissues. This is necessary to sustain life and promote the health of all the body's tissues.
