Answer: C. Preying

Explanation:

A non-native species is the species which is introduced to a new ecosystem. This species is introduced intentionally or accidentally to a new ecosystem by human beings or they may enter to the ecosystem by their own.

A non-native species can be invasive which means it can compete with the native species for resources like shelter, food and mates.

According to the given situation, the Gila trouts being the native species has been affected by the non-native Rainbow trout. This may be because of the fact that non-native species can be invasive for the native species. As the species is used as mate by the non-native species and they may become the prey of non-native species. This has resulted in the extinction of the species of Gila trouts.

A male cardinal's red color is an example of a trait affected by natural selection. The females of the species choose mates
kompoz [17]

Answer:

In the cardinals, if the females start using a different criterion than the color of the feather when they choose couple, most likely to happen is that decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the selection pressure has been relieved.</em>
  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the cardinals try different ways to impress the females.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because the only reason for variation was selection pressure.</em>

In the context of natural selection, male cardinals court females using the coloring of their feathers as a form of sexual selection. This means that the shades of red in the feathers are a selection criterion in these birds, and the more visible shades represent an advantage.

But, if the selection criterion was not the color of the feathers, this trait would no longer represent an advantage in the competition between the males to be chosen as a mate. Instead, the trait that would determine sexual selection would be the one that experiences an increase in its variation<em>.</em>

Cacti in the deserts of southwestern North America and some euphorbs of the deserts of Africa, have barrel-shaped stems, short-l
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.

A test cross can be used to _____.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: - Predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant.

Explanation:

The genetic make up of the organism is called as the genotype. It describes the form of genes or allelic forms present in the organism. A test cross is used to determine the genotype of the organism. In this cross the organism with the unknown genotype is done with that of the organism with the known genotype. It also determines the fact that the organism is either homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.

On the basis of the above description, Predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant.
