The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.
There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.
As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.
The most common tree in that continent is one that's named "floss silk". It's classified as a tropical tree so we could say that most of South America is covered in tropical trees.
Have a nice day! :)
16 neutrons are present in the most abundant isotope.
Explanation:
Phosphorus has 18 isotopes. The most common isotope has mass number (no. of protons 15+ no. of neutrons 16=) 31 .
For many of their illnesses scientist and doctors haven't treated them before so they don't know how to treat them or exactly if the animal can handle the treatment
Answer: b. fossil fuels are nonrenewable, so humans will run out of them eventually. burning fossil fuels also contributes to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Explanation:
Fossil fuels are limited and we will run out of them eventually. They cannot be replenished in a single human's lifespan. Fossil fuels contribute to the destruction of ecosystems, but not only that. They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that warms the Earth. Therefore, anything other than B. would be incorrect.
