Within a species of short, ground-dwelling animals, two parents produced a group of offspring that were 1 cm taller than they we

re. These offspring were able to reach slightly higher vegetation than their parents and other members of the species. When the offspring grew up, they produced new offspring who were also slightly taller and could also reach the higher vegetation. This process continued over several generations such that offspring became gradually taller with time. Eventually, after many generations, all members of the species were at least 20 cm taller than the original two parents that produced the slightly taller offspring. What does this illustrate?
A. Only major differences between parents and offspring can result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors.

B. Ground-dwelling animals would survive better if they evolve to be shorter.

C. Slight differences between parents and offspring can eventually result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors.

D. Biological change does not apply to ground-dwelling animals.

Answer:

C. Slight differences between parents and offspring can eventually result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors.

Explanation:

The question above shows an evolutionary process that resulted in a generation with some physical differences when compared to the previous generation.

As shown in the question above, members of an animal population had offspring that were taller than their parents. This difference in height brought some advantages, since these new members of the population were able to reach higher vegetation.

Over time, these new members grew up and had even taller children. Eventually, members of past generations began to die, making the population comprised of the highest members.

In summary, we can say that, in the case shown above, small differences between parents and offspring can result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors.

Answer:

Ocean temperatures can cause large storms such as hurricanes or tropical storms. Warmer ocean waters create larger and stronger storms as well as keep said storms going longer. Warmer ocean waters can also cause the temperature in the immediate air around it to be slightly warmer.

What is a young, anucleate erythrocyte called?
VARVARA [1.3K]

The right answer is reticulocyte.

The reticulocyte is the cell preceding the erythrocyte stage in erythropoiesis. He is almost like her.

Reticulocytes are young red blood cells that still have ribosomes and mitochondria, but no peroxisomes. They are therefore capable of a fairly intense metabolism and they still actively synthesize hemoglobin.

Where in the human male does spermatogenesis
GuDViN [60]
<span>Spermatozoa are the mature male gametes in many sexually reproducing organisms. Thus, spermatogenesis is the male version of gametogenesis, of which the female equivalent is oogenesis. In mammals it occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the male testes in a stepwise fashion.</span>
