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.

How are land, air, water and living things impacted by too much carbon dioxide?
choli [55]

Answer:

- In terrestrial environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increased photosynthetic rate

- In aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increase in water acidity  

- In both terrestrial and aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels lead to an overall increase in the average temperature (global warming)

Explanation:

In terrestrial ecosystems, rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase the rate of photosynthesis (since CO2 is one of the reactants in photosynthesis), thereby also increasing plant growth. Moreover, in aquatic ecosystems, rising CO2 concentrations increase the levels of this gas dissolved on the surface of the oceans. This increases the acidity of the oceans, thereby modifying habitats and food web structures. The increasing acidity of the oceans also reduces the amounts of carbonate, which difficult for aquatic species (e.g., corals) to form their shells/skeletons. Finally, CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the increase in the average temperature by absorbing solar radiation that would otherwise have been reflected by the Earth's surface, and this increase in the temperature negatively affects life in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Cooking oil and gasoline (a hydrocarbon) have no affinity for water because they _____.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer;

Do not have a polar or charged region.

Cooking oil and gasoline (a hydrocarbon) have no affinity for water because they do not have a polar or charged region.

Explanation;

An amphipathic molecule is a molecule that contains both polar and nonpolar regions. Answer As the answer above said amphipathic molecules have two ends. A Hydrophilic end or a polar end, and a hydrophobic end or a non-polar end. Amphipathic molecules are extremely important in the human body. because they function as transporters of hydrophobic material in the hydrophilic environment of the body.

A simple example is that lipids (fat) can not circulate the body along with blood unless it is bonded to an amphipathic molecules or else lipids will not be able to move in the vessels and will make obstructions.
