Answer:

c. the cost to growth of allocating resources to defense

d. consistent fitness benefits of high allocations to defense

Explanation:

In order to ensure survival by  escape of  grazing and browsing by herbivores (and insects) plant usually adopt different defence mechanisms.This forms the basis for the optimum defence hypothesis .

The basic idea of the hypothesis is that the type   of  defence that an organism e.g plant  will adopt  against an herbivore depends on its fitness, and since this involve expenditure of energy it will be expensive for the organism to afford and maintain.

Many organisms can reproduce asexually through mitosis, while other organisms reproduce sexually, and their cells carry out meio
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Mitosis is a growth division unlike meiosis which an organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells during sexual reproduction.

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in two daughter cells, identical in genetic composition. An organism can undergo mitosis in asexual reproduction. For each mitotic division, two daughter cells emerge (duplication division), which will propagate the number of the species.

In a case of heavy predation, the prey organism will depend on diverse number to keep its species from getting extinct. Hence, undergoing mitosis to duplicate itself asexually will be most beneficial in this scenario as a large number will increase the chance that some of them will not be a victim of predation.

How do paleontologist use known evidence to make their observations? What are 2 of their observations
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Paleontologists are scientists that use fossil records to study the history of life on earth. They use known evidence/fossils such as bones, prints (on land or sea), dead remains to determine evidence and history of past life on earth.

Some of there observations include the use of comparative anatomy to determine possible evolution. They also use carbon dating to determine approximately how long a fossil/bone has been in existence.
