Answer:

62 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Sex cells are formed undergoing meiosis, which means that they contain a haploid number of chromosomes. (Half the number that somatic/body cells contain). 31 is half of 62, which means that the diploid number of chromosomes in the body cells of a giraffe would be 62.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope, some antelope are killed and some escape. Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selec
Rufina [12.5K]

According to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, each generation produces more individuals than the ecosystem can sustain. However, not all individuals are identical and phenotypical variation exists.

Due to this variation, some antelopes are better at escaping lions, perhaps due to speed and/or stamina. Thus, the individuals that are slower and thus less fit will be killed and eliminated from the herd. The antelopes with heritable traits that makes them better suited to the environment, will escape and thus, survive and reproduce.

In Darwin's Theory predation is an evolutionary force.
