Some traits are similar between different species, and taxonomists describe some of those similarities as “plesiomorphic.” By th

is term, taxonomists mean _ The trait has been changed in one or the other of the species since the time that they last shared an ancestor in common The trait has remained the same in one or the other of the species since the time that they last shared an ancestor in common The trait is not dominant, and will eventually disappear from the population The trait is interfering with reproductive success, and will disappear from the population very soon

Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement.

Explanation:

Plesiomorphic characters or the traits refers to those that are shared by various clades in a specific group. These traits share a common ancestor, they have been the same in each of the species of the group and also in other groups. Like hair is a specific feature, which is shared by all the mammals from their initial stage, however, subsequent evolution has produced many clades afterward.

Does Kudzu help with soil erosion in the environment Explain why or why not
horrorfan [7]

Solution:

The correct answer is:

Yes, Kudzu helps prevent erosion.

Explanation:

Kudzu is a leafy vine that can prevent soil erosion. This is due to its wide leaves and strong root system that prevents soil erosion. In fact, Kudzu exhibits a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which may help explain their successful growth on heavily eroded sites. The kudzu cover prevents soil erosion because produces a high density of organic matter and this slows down the speed of rainwater. Also, Kudzu maintains soil moisture and prevents runoff even on steep slopes.

Field mice in beach mice are closely related species. The Field mice are various shades of brown in the beach mice or later 10 a
wariber [46]

Answer:

The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>

Explanation:

As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.

Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)

Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.

Natural selection can be described as all of the following EXCEPT Question 1 options:
kiruha [24]
Survival of the strongest... an organisms strength does not affect the natural selection process. Natural selection is adapting the species to be able to better survive in its environment. In order to better survive, an organism does not to be strong. e.g. a plant is probably not a “strong” organism and natural selection doesn’t change that in most cases
