Adaptive genes are selected and passed from generation to generation.
<h3>Natural selection and the evolution of long necks in giraffes</h3>
According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, natural selection selects for adaptive genes in organisms and deselects non-adaptive genes.
Thus, adaptive genes are passed from generation to generation.
In the case of the giraffes. It is plausible that their ancestors kept on stretching their necks in order to feed as the trees they fed on kept growing taller. The taller the tree grows, the longer the ancestors of giraffes stretched their necks to reach it. Otherwise, they just might have to die of starvation.
This adaptation activated the long-neck genes in the ancestors of giraffes. Natural selection selects this trait and it was passed down across generations.

Answer:
The animals would look for other food to eat which would add more disruption, which would then cause the all of the ecosystem to fall apart.
Explanation:
Answer:
A good example may be represented by different shapes and sizes of beaks in finches living on different Galapagos islands
Explanation:
According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a mechanism that acts on heritable phenotypic variation among individuals within a population. Genetic variation can be considered as the primary source of heritable phenotypic variation. Those organisms that are better adapted for a particular environment will have more chances to survive and reproduce, thereby passing these heritable traits to the next generation. For example, during his work, Darwin observed that the shape and size of beaks in finch species from different islands in the Galapagos archipelago varied as a consequence, i.e., as an adaptation, to the availability of food resources present in each island.
I believe it’s the third answer but I’m not 100% sure.
Answer:
primary consumer or autotroph
Explanation:
An autotroph or primary producer is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis).
