Answer:

Natural selection will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year.

Explanation:

Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype.  Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.

Natural selection is the result between the individual phenotype and the environment that determines the destiny of genes. It is the differential capability of individuals to leave offspring.

Aptitude (or fitness) is the phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring. Aptitude must be significant to the natural selection act in its favor.  

Natural selection, eventually, will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year. These animals have more chances of leaving fertile descendants that will be able to grow, develop, survive, and reproduce. They have a higher aptitude than those individuals that only have four fawns during their lifetimes. These animals have fewer probabilities of leaving survival descendants able to reproduce.

<h3>What are predator-prey relationships?</h3>

Predator-prey relationships are feeding relationships in which one organism kills and eats another organism for food.

The organism that kills the other is called the predator while the organism that is killed is called the prey.

In the simulation, the prey type that will avoid capture the most is the beans since it had the smallest surface area and size.

The predator that will succeed in capturing the most prey is the spoon because of its hollow nature.

Naya [18.7K]

Complete question:

Members of the tropical tree genus Ceiba currently grow in the rainforests of the Amazon. A paleontologist discovers several fossils that she attributes to this genus in the Pampas region of Argentina. This region is not currently covered with tropical rainforests. She concludes based on these fossils that this region of Argentina was covered with tropical rainforests in the past. This form of reasoning is known as:

A.  

Deduction.

B.  

Induction.

C.  

Abduction.

D.  

A random guess.

Answer:

This form of reasoning is known as Deduction (Option A)

Explanation:

Induction: Might be defined as a process of initiation in something, such as a religion, a new job, a new activity, a new curse, etc.    

Abduction: Refers to the illegal act of taking someone somewhere by obligation or by force, against the person´s will. Also refers to the body´s extremities movement.  

A random guess: Refers to a random conjecture about something, with no basis or fundaments.

Deduction: The fact of answering a question or reaching a conclusion based on evidence or fundaments. Usually after a process of investigation or study, and knowing the facts.

The exposed situation is an example of a deduction made by the researcher. She bases her conclusion on the fact that Pampa´s fossils might be of the same genus as Amazonia´s trees, which means that in Argentina the environmental and climatic conditions were comparable to those in current Amazonia. Also, as a paleontologist, she must know about the biogeographic processes that modeled the earth and living beings. Her conclusions are not random. She has bases and fundaments to conclude that Argentina was once covered with tropical rainforests in the past.
