<span>Long-spined cacti will survive longer and reproduce more often than short-spined cacti</span>. Because natural selection suggests that organisms with certain traits that give them better chance at survival or reproductive rate will be pass on to their offspring.

Answer: long-spined cacti will survive longer and reproduce more often than short-spined cacti

Explanation:

The natural selection is the process of differential survival and reproduction which is facilitated by beneficial traits that some living beings posses over the others. These traits help these living beings to survive and reproduce. Thus the beneficial traits are passed on from generation to generation.

The long spines prevent the herbivorous eating better than the short spines. Thus the long spine cactus will survive and reproduce more than the short spined cactus.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

smooth was dominant over that for wrinkled

Explanation:

In complete dominance, a gene may have two different variants or 'alleles', dominant and recessive. A dominant allele is a gene variant that is able to produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles, while a recessive allele is a gene variant that is masked by the dominant allele in heterozygous individuals (i.e., individuals that inherited different alleles from each parent). By crossing smooth and wrinkled pea plants, Mendel observed the offspring (F1) were smooth rather than mixed, indicating one type of seed texture was dominant over the other. Subsequently, Mendel observed that alleles for different traits (e.g., seed texture and seed color) assorted independently during meiosis.
