6 0

Answer:

Selection pressures are external agents which affect an organism’s ability to survive in a given environment

Selection pressures can be negative (decreases the occurrence of a trait) or positive (increases the proportion of a trait)

Selection pressures may not remain constant, leading to changes in what constitutes a beneficial adaptation

Types of selection pressures include:

Resource availability – Presence of sufficient food, habitat (shelter / territory) and mates

Environmental conditions – Temperature, weather conditions or geographical access

Biological factors – Predators and pathogens (diseases)

What are tides? What causes the tides here on Earth?
Semenov [28]
High tides and low tides are caused by the Moon. The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth and its water to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
