How does climate change threaten biodiversity

Biology
1 answer:
lukranit [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Climate change can melt ice in cold regions, and because ice is freshwater it can change the salinity of the oceans. Some marine animals may not cope with these conditions and may die as a result. This threatens biodiversity because there would be less species of marine life in our oceans.

Fossils show that ancestors of the giraffe had shorter necks than the modern giraffe. The evolution of the modern giraffe may be
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

B. Directional selection

Explanation:

When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.

Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.

Based on what you have learned from your rankings in parts a and b, why is it generally hotter in summer than in winter?.
lesya692 [45]

We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

<h3>What are seasons?</h3>

There are three seasons on earth namely winter, summer, and rainy season. In the winter season, the temperature is cold and during summer the temperature is higher.

Timing and characteristic of season depend upon the location of the earth. The time of a year region experience season depends on it is northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere.

The southern hemispheres experiences winter while northern hemisphere experiences summer. The cycle of seasons is caused by earth's tilted towards the earth. The planet rotates around an axis.

Therefore, We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

In Drosophila, straight wings are dominant to curved wings (c), smooth eyes are dominant to sparkling eyes (spa), and tan body i
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

\frac{1}{8}

Explanation:

Straight wings are dominant over curved wings

Let Straight wings : H

curved wings : t

smooth eyes are dominant to sparkling eyes

let smooth eyes = H

spark ling eyes = t

tan body is dominant to ebony body color.

Again; Let tan body color be H

Let ebony color be t

If flies that are heterozygous for all three traits are crossed;

we have HtHtHt × HtHtHt

Then the selected trihybrid traits for the cross will be (HHH,HHt, HtH, Htt, tHH, tHt, ttH, ttt)

We will realize that from the punnet square in the diagram below, the proportion of the offspring would you expect to be heterozygous for all three traits (i.e HtHtHt) is asterisk in the punnet square and will be \frac{8}{64}

= \frac{1}{8}
