An adaptive trait: (mark all that apply)
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

[a] varies in its characteristics according to local environmental circumstances

[b] becomes common within a species through natural selection

[d] tends to promote the well being of an organism in its natural or social environment

Explanation:

The adaptive traits in the living organisms have a simple basic role, that is to make the organism better suited for survival in its environment. The adaptive traits come in all sorts of different shapes, be it some that are manifested in the physical appearance or in the behavior of the organisms. Adaptive traits can be increased speed, prolonged neck, living in a groups, developing thorns and many more. This type of traits occur when the organisms face increased competition or when the environment in which they live starts to change, so in order for them to survive, they start to develop traits that will make them better suited for the new conditions and more competitive. The main principle through which the adaptive traits are transferred and rapidly increase in a population is through natural selection, as the organisms choose the ones that have advantageous traits for their mates, while they live aside the others.

What were the Major geologic process of the precambrian and Paleozoic eras in the horn of Africa?​
aev [14]

Denudation was an important geological phenomenon in the Precambrian and Paleozoic ages in the Horn of Africa.

<h3>What were the Precambrian and paleozoic epochs like?</h3>

The Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian, or Cryptozoic) period of Earth's history before the present Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian is called after the Precambrian epoch, which preceded the Cambrian. The Precambrian period encompasses 88 percent of Earth's geologic history.

PALEOZOIC

The Paleozoic (or Palaeozoic) Era is the first of the Phanerozoic Eon's three geologic periods. The Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian epochs span 541 to 251.902 million years ago.

Thus, a major geological process of that era was denudation in the horn of Africa.
