Answer: catastrophic events.

Explanation:

Several factors besides Natural Selection, such as gene flow, mutations, and genetic drift promote the evolution of populations, but only Natural Selection results in adaptations. Natural selection can explain the adaptation and specialization of living beings and depends on the existence of reproduction, heritable phenotypic variation, to some degree, and especially the difference of fitness among individuals. Reproductive differential and/or mortality favors certain genotypes over generations and may lead to loss or fixation of alleles over time within populations. Natural selection can act in different ways, depending on the variants phenotypic phenomena and the adaptive values associated with them, which may be disruptive, directional or stabilizing. Based in this, we can affim the catastrophic events are not required for natural selction to occur.

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.

The typical male turkey has a mass of 17.5 lbs whereas the typical female turkey has a mass of 8.0 lbs. How many ounces of insec
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

It have been shown that domestic  turkeys require about 13.6 grams of food per pound of body weight each day to sustain weight. A gobbler is a male turkey.

The food consumed by a male turkey that is 17.5 lbs = 13.6 grams of food per pound * 17.5 pound = 238 grams.

7 gobblers = 7 male turkeys, hence:

The food consumed by 7 gobblers = 238 grams * 7 = 1666 grams
