Answer:

Birds have preference to striped snails

Explanation:

The total number of snail with stripes is lesser in number as compared to the total number of snails with solid or no color. Despite this, the birds prefer to feed on snail species that are in minority to the total snail population.  

This represents likeliness of birds to feed on striped snails which constitutes nearly 56 percent.

Each atom of the element argon has 18 electrons. How many chemical bonds is one atom of argon likely to make with atoms of other
densk [106]
It won't. Argon is an element found in the Group 8A also called as the noble gases. They are called as such because they do not react with other elements because their electronic configuration is very stable. This is because they already obey the Octet rule, which has to do with eight electrons occupying around the element. So, it is very rare to have reaction involving any of the noble gases.

The 23rd pair of chromosomes is the sex chromosome which differentiates males from females. Females have 2 copies of the x chromosome.
