Horses are much larger today than their two-foot tall ancestor, mesohippus. Geologists believe the change in size was the result

of changing environments, from tropical forests to a grassland habitat. Larger size would be an advantage for survival in this new habitat because

The answer is: <span>larger horses have longer legs.

</span>The ancestors of horses lived in the forest, where they could hide from the predators. But, with the first steppes, they could be spotted by the predators. Horses had to adapt in order to survive. Thus, their legs became longer through time so horses could run faster to escape predators.<span>

Why do you think<br> organisms in the<br> same kingdom are<br> not all identical?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Evolution, mutation, and adaptation

Explanation:

Since different organisms adapt to different environments and receive different mutations, they adapt differently and slowly change. That is why there are different species of birds, just look at the galapagos islands, there are thousands of species of finches that changed to survive on each island. The same could be said for every organism since the early organisms that we evolved from were widespread, some evolved differently than others, leading to different fish, different lizards, different early mammals, and so on. That is why humans look different than dogs or cats, we evolved best to our environment so we could survive.

A hypothetical flowering plant produces blue, light blue, and white flowers. To determine the inheritance pattern, the following
olasank [31]

Answer:

d. incomplete dominance

Explanation:

When none of the alleles of a particular locus completely masks the expression of the other allele of the same gene, it is called incomplete dominance. If the allele B gives "blue" phenotype and allele b gives white phenotype, a cross between blue (BB) and white (bb) parents would produce all the progeny with genotype Bb. Since the allele B does not completely prevent the expression of allele b in the heterozygous condition, the phenotype of the F1 hybrids would be "light blue". Therefore, it is an example of incomplete dominance.

blue (BB) x blue (BB) = all blue (BB)

white (bb) x white (bb)= all white (bb)

blue (BB) x white (bb)= all light blue (Bb)
