Using the terms DNA, trait, code, pattern, gene, describe why each organism is unique
Rom4ik [11]
Each organism is unique because of genetic variation. Each set of genes we inherit from our parents codes for a specific trait. And our DNA is a blueprint for these traits. Not everybody contains the same genes and that is why we are all so beautifully unique.

The graphs below show the changes in crab color at one beach.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

C. Both light tan and dark tan body color provided an advantage to the crabs on this beach, but not necessarily in other crab habitats.

Explanation:

The changes in the number of light tan and dark tan body color of crabs that occured can be described as a diversifying or disruptive selection.

This disruptive selection occurs when individuals with extreme traits on both ends of the spectrum become selected against individuals of ntermediate or medium traits.

In the case of the crab, their environment favors the selection of both extreme values as against those intermediate individuals, as both light tan and dark tan body color of the crabs gives them advantage over others in this particular environment. This may only be obtainable in this environment or similar beach environment with the same settings and conditions.
