Differentiate between proximate and causations of a behavior

Biology
1 answer:
postnew [5]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The ultimate level of causation refers to the behavior’s evolutionary significance; how the behavior enhances reproductive fitness. The proximate cause refers to the immediate cause of a behavior, whether that be hormonal, neurological, cognitive, interpersonal, or cultural. For example, the proximate cause of humans eating more cookies, cake, and ice cream involves the psychological tendency to desire and enjoy foods with high sugar and fat content. The ultimate cause involves the high caloric content of both sweet and high fat foods, which promotes physical survival in resource-scarce environments.

Answer:

The weed plant must have undergone some mutation in order to be resistant to the herbicide which would kill the weed before now

2) The most likely thing that will happen if the weed stays in place in that farm is : The weed will survive long enough to reproduce

What is true of lithospheric plates?
klemol [59]

Answer:

A. They are constantly moving. I think.

Explanation:

Each lithospheric plate is composed of a layer of oceanic crust or continental crust superficial to an outer layer of the mantle. Containing both crust and the upper region of the mantle, lithospheric plates are generally considered to be approximately 60 mi (100 km) thick. Earth's tectonic plates may have taken as long as 1 billion years to form, researchers report today in Nature. The plates — interlocking slabs of crust that float on Earth's viscous upper mantle — were created by a process similar to the subduction seen today when one plate dives below another, the report says. A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.
