A. Elephants with no or small tusks survive to reproduce and pass on their trait because they are not poached. (Natural selection). So it has changed overtime.

The correct answer is B, I know this because none of the other answers are even reasonable. For example-
A is wrong because the size of elephant tusk has not changed over time, elephant tusk just grow...
C is wrong because it makes no sense to hunt elephants with no tusk :/
D is completely wrong because tusk have nothing to do with reproduction, those are two completely separate bodily functions.........

Purple sulfur bacteria and filamentous sulfur-oxidizers both A. accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.B. fix nitrogen.C. p
aksik [14]

Answer:

Option A, accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.

Explanation:

Purple sulfur bacteria  belong to the group of Proteobacteria. These probacterias are  anaerobic  in nature and yet are able to photosynthesise. They are usually found in  water environments  such as hot springs, stagnant water etc. They use sulphur (either in the form of sulfide, or thiosulfate) as an electron donor in their photosynthetic activity to oxidise sulfur thereby producing granules of elemental sulfur.

while filamentous sulfur oxidizers use nitrate instead of oxygen to oxidize sulfide thereby producing granules.

Hence, option A is correct.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Adverse effect on the animals.

Explanation:

If the rabbit population suddenly shrank due to disease, it will adversely affected the population of eagle, fox and coyote because these animals depend on them through feeding. Eagle, fox and coyote feed on the rabbit so if the population of rabbit decreases, then there will be scarcity of food for these animals and as a result decrease occur in their populations so we can say that adverse effect occurs on the population of eagle, fox and coyote.

Biotic factors in the environment include ???
Anon25 [30]
Biotic factors are anything in a ecosystem that is living, was living, or is going to live.

From this we can conclude that the biotic factors are remains of dead organisms and flora and fauna.
Temperature and minerals in the soil are abiotic, meaning they will never live.
