What factors should we consider when determining why the chicken "loses" to the fox? A chicken can fly and perch on higher place

s than the fox can likely get to. Does one animal have worse hearing than the other? Or are its other senses not as keen? Does one animal sleep more soundly or just more than the other? What necessary information would you need to determine why one of these animals (the fox) tends to always come out on top when in some other scenarios the obvious result does not turn out as expected? Fully explain your rationale. Identify a different real-world situation and interpret the results of the outcome. Were the results expected? Fully explain your rationale.

Answer:

Domestic chicken evolved by artificial selection and therefore they are less adapted to survive in nature where prey populations coexist with the predators (like the fox).

Explanation:

Commercial chicken (<em>Gallus gallus domesticus</em>) is the result of the artificial selection exerted by early farmers in China 8,000 years ago. Artificial selection is aimed at benefiting one or more particular traits in detriment of others. Domestic chickens were selected by humans to produce fast-growing meat animals in detriment of traits found in wild progenitors of modern chicken. In consequence, the processes of artificial selection result in a loss in genetic diversity in traits that are not being selected including, for example, phenotypic characteristics associated with the ability to avoid predators.

What are the negative effects of endangered species?
jonny [76]

Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart. Each species that is lost triggers the loss of other species within its ecosystem. Humans depend on healthy ecosystems to purify our environment.

Which of the following represents organisms in a food chain?
Lisa [10]

Answer: c seeds, mice, snakes

Explanation:

<u>a hawks, owls, eagles NO</u>

These animals all eat some form of meat, and they are on the top of all of their food chains. If you put these animals in a room with no food, there'd be no food chain, and they would got out at each other until there was one left, and there'd be no advatanges because 1. they can all fly and 2. they are all top consumers. The same thing goes for D except hyenas can't fly.

<u>b deer, rabbits, cows NO</u>

This is not a food chain because all of the animals are herbivore, so they only eats plants and will not eat each other.

<u>c seeds, mice, snakes YES</u>

The seeds are a producer which is to be eaten by a consumer (the mouse), and which are then eaten by the predator, the snake.

<u>d hyenas, vultures, crows NO</u>

<u />

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day! :-)

Answer:

A. greenhouse effect

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. Climate change results from the shedding of gases like CO2 into the atmosphere where it can trap more heat.

How can i increase an object’s Kinetic Energy?
Alik [6]

- An object's kinetic energy depends on its mass and its speed.

- The faster something is moving and the heavier it is, the more work it can do.

- Kinetic energy increases as an object moves faster.

- If an objects speed is doubled > kinetic energy is quadrupled.

<em>If an object is not moving, it does not have kinetic energy. </em>
