Some insects mimic dung. Ever since Darwin, biologists have explained this as a form of camouflage: selection favors individuals

who most resemble dung because they are less likely to be eaten. Some have questioned how this could have evolved. In the words of one eminent scholar: ""Can there be any edge to looking 5% like a turd?"" Why might looking 5% like a turd provide a selective advantage than not looking like a turd at all?

Answer:

If a bug looked 95% like a bug and 5% like, it would have a small advantage over the other bugs who didn't look like . However, there are many other factors to this. Say a bird or owl was flying through the air looking for bugs to eat. In addition to the bug looking like compared to the other bugs, there is also a fair amount of things that are blocking the birds information on where it is looking. There are trees in the way, branches, leafs, bushes, shadow, light and etc. Not to mention the bird is traveling at a fast rate. When the bird spots the bug that looks like , even though it only looks 5% like , it must make a split second decision on whether or not it's looking at food or as all of the previous factors obscure it's way of processing information.

Helga [31]

Answer:

King Hammurabi was eighteen years when he became King of Babylon after his father's death and ruled between 1792 till 1750 BC.

The young king was not daunted by the task of being king of such a big kingdom and he immediately began to make peace treaties with strong and powerful neighboring countries and working on making the kingdom prosperous. He did this by undertaking several projects like strengthening the city walls, and new and better irrigation systems.

After he had defeated his enemies and neighboring countries, he established the first Babylonian Empire and went further to improve the city by building more temples, constructing canals and acqueduts.

Brrunno [24]

Please find attached the figure with the complete question including the histogram

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{20members}}

Explanation:

You must understand the <em>histogram.</em>

The horizontal axis shows the <em>weights in pounds</em> measured using the central points of the intervals. The intervals are supposed to be [105,115], [115,125], [125,130], . . .

The height of the bars represents the frequencies or number of <em>members </em>for each interval. You can read the height of each bar on the vertical axis.

Thus, you find the number of members for each interval:

  • first interval:                   5 members
  • second interval:             4 members
  • third interval:                  2 members
  • fourth interval (blank):   0 members
  • fifth interval:                   5 members
  • sixth interval (blank):     0 members
  • seventh interval:            4 members

Total: 5 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 4 = 20 members ← answer
