<u>Answer:</u>
<em>It is advantageous to have lesser number of bones in the pectoral girdle.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Pectoral girdle is made up by the bones that connect the upper limbs to the appendicular skeleton which includes all the limb bones. Pectoral girdle in humans is made up of two bones. They are clavicle (collar bone) and scapula. The pectoral girdle allows the free movement of upper limbs.
The bones of pectoral girdle are not as massive as the bones of pelvic girdle since it doesn’t have the function of support. Lesser number of bones in pectoral girdle makes movement of upper limbs more free.
I believe it is natural selection. Natural selection is when over a period of time, traits that are formed to help the organism survive, are passed to the next generation. For example, if there were two types of rabbits. One had black fur and the other was white. They both lived in the artic. The black furred rabbits are mostly eaten by predators because their black fur is easily seen against the ice and snow. Over a period of time, the black furred rabbit would die out. The next generation would mostly have white fur to help them survive.
The destructive force of the wave is not felt while they are out at the sea but it is felt when they approach the shore.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When the waves are out in the ocean they are in deeper waters. Once they move towards the shore they approach shallow waters. This movement causes shoaling of the waves by which its amplitude increases.
When the wave reaches the shore its leading edge gets slowed down by coming in contact with the beach floor but its trailing edge which is still in deep water still moves rapidly. The wave thus gets compressed and its wavelength decreases. The amplitude of the wave then increases rapidly making the wave destructive.
