Tortoises on one island had round shells, for example, whereas tortoises on aneighboring island had more flattened, saddle-shaped shells. Which statement BEST summarizes Darwin's explanation for these differences?
A) Random mutations caused the shape of the shells to fluctuate periodically.
B) The shape of the tortoise shell varied because the predators on the islands were all similar.
C) The particular shape of the shellwas best suited for the island on which the tortoise was living.

Which best illustrates a result of natural selection?
Yanka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is -

D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.

According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.

Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).

This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.
