Many of the plants in a grassland environment are specifically adapted to that habitat. The natural selection that led to this a

daptation was a result of all
the following EXCEPT
populations of plants naturally exhibit variation
plants produce more offspring than can survive.
the available resources do not support all the plants,
related plant species share some genetic material.

Answer: hybridisation between related species is unlikely to contribute to adaptive speciation.

Explanation: any population has natural genetic variation. The available resources are insufficient for all plants (and conversely, not all offspring survive). Natural selection favours variations better suited to the conditions.

Although hybridisation is more common in plants than animals, and can lead to speciation, adaptive radiation from an ancestral species is the general response to environmental change, such as from rainforest to savanna. There is low probability of selective advantage from hybridisation of two ancestral species adapted to niches within the original habitat when the conditions in those niches changes significantly.

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.
