dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago
3 0

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. co-evolution

Explanation:

When two or more species evolution is influenced by each other and are interdependent than this type of evolution is known as co-evolution. There are several examples of co-evolution like predator-prey co-evolution, flowering plants and pollinators evolution, etc.

The predator-prey evolution is famous in which there is selective pressure on prey to evolve to avoid getting hunted and the same pressure is on predator to evolve with prey so that they can get their food and survive. Therefore the correct answer is co-evolution.

In what zone is the ability to burrow and sustain changes in temperature and salinity important for an organisms' survival?
den301095 [7]
The correct option is C.
Living organisms that live in the littoral zones in the ocean are used to frequent changes in temperature and in the salinity of the ocean water. For an organism to survive in this environment, it needs to have adaptive features that will increase its survival. The littoral zone is divided into three zones, which are high, middle and lower littoral zones. Organisms living in high littoral zone have adaptive features that make them more adapted to desiccation due to the long hours of sunlight to which they are exposed. The organisms are usually exposed directly to the air or they can be enclosed in burrows.
