Adaptive genes are selected and passed from generation to generation.
<h3>Natural selection and the evolution of long necks in giraffes</h3>
According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, natural selection selects for adaptive genes in organisms and deselects non-adaptive genes.
Thus, adaptive genes are passed from generation to generation.
In the case of the giraffes. It is plausible that their ancestors kept on stretching their necks in order to feed as the trees they fed on kept growing taller. The taller the tree grows, the longer the ancestors of giraffes stretched their necks to reach it. Otherwise, they just might have to die of starvation.
This adaptation activated the long-neck genes in the ancestors of giraffes. Natural selection selects this trait and it was passed down across generations.

Answer:
The correct answer is B. Hot Spring. I just took this on Edge and got it correct.
The ratio of c-14 to c-12 is consistent over time.
Answer:
DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Nucleotides are attached together to form two long strands that spiral to create a structure called a double helix. If you think of the double helix structure as a ladder, the phosphate and sugar molecules would be the sides, while the bases would be the rungs.
Explanation:
I hope this helps:)
The answer is C. decreases.
C-14 and C-12 are carbon isotopes used to measure the approximate age of organic remains. C-12 is stable, and it does not break down into other elements over time. C-14 is not stable. It breaks down into N-14.
Organisms can incorporate C-14 into their bodies during the life. But when the die, C-14 is not incorporated anymore. After organisms' death, C-12 will remain stable, but C-14 will start to breaks down into N-14. So, it will be less C-14 and C-12 will remain the same. The ratio of C-14 to C-12 must decrease over time.
