Giraffes with short necks tend to be unable to access enough food, while giraffes with long necks can reach more food at the top

s of trees. This causes an advantage for giraffes with long necks. How would you explain this?
A. This is an example of a stabilizing selection in which the intermediate form of a trait is advantageous compared to the extreme forms of the trait.

B. This is an example of a disruptive selection in which the population of cacti is divided and well-defined.

C. This is an example of directional selection in which one end of the bell curve is better adapted to its environment than the other end.

D. This is an example of bidirectional selection in which evolutionary pressures from multiple sources encourage an organism to adapt

This is an example of directional selection in which one end of the bell curve is better adapted to its environment than the other end.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Directional selection is one that favors one extreme ends of a trait of  a population. In this case the length of the neck in the giraffe population is the trait and the longest necks have an advantage –they gather more food hence have more chances of reaching reproductive age and passing their genes to next generation-  and are, therefore, favored best by natural selection pressures that power evolution.

Explain why the heart is described as an organ and not as a tissue.
Rudik [331]
The heart is an organ (rather than a tissue) because it has an important (and complex) function. Tissues don't have nearly as many things in it as the heart does. 

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Considering the organization of the body the level of organization in which proteins like collagen are found is the molecular level, and this level of organization allows the construction of the structure and functions of the whole body.

Explanation:

Collagen is a protein molecule that belongs to the molecular organization level, like all biomolecules.

Proteins have multiple functions in the body:

  • <em>They participate in the construction or structure of the body. </em>
  • <em>They form specialized proteins, the enzymes, to facilitate organic chemical reactions. </em>
  • <em>They are part of the structure of cell membranes, allowing cellular recognition and transmembrane transport. </em>

In this way <u>the protein molecules, belonging to the molecular level, contribute to the organization of the whole body</u>.
