Answer:

Behavioural and anatomical adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptations refers to characteristics present in organism which help them survive in a given environment in which they are found. These adaptations are developed over time in order to help the organism to be best suited to its environment to obtain food and water as well as to avoid predators

Such adaptations may be physical adaptations such as anatomical or physiological, or behavioural adaptations.

In physical adaptation, organisms have structural and physiological features that help them to survive. For eaxmple, needle-like leaves of desert plants to prevent water loss, thick fur of animals in cold regions, echolocation in bats to help them detect prey.

In behavioural adaptations, organisms display certain behaviours to help them survive. For example, migration of birds as wel as other animals based on seasonal changes, hibernation of animals in cold regions during winter, desert animals being active at colder nights and inactive during the very hot day.

Therefore, desert owls being inactive during the day and active at night is a behavioural adaptation, while their having small bodies is structural or anatomical adaptation.

The graph shows the growth and reproduction in 4 different cells, A, B, C, and D, over time. Use the graph to answer questions b
balandron [24]

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Cells generally have a relatively short lifestyle in that they grow, divide and then die off. This is not the case with cancerous cells as those ones mutate and then multiply such that they eventually form a tumor.

Looking at the graph, most of the cells are remaining at a lower or manageable number because they are dying off. Cell A on the other hand is simply increasing in number which means that it is a cancerous cell as it is increasing its number by mutating instead of dying off like other cells would.
