In the evolutionary adaptation sense, what is fitness?
Stells [14]
The answer is letter A.
<span>
In the evolutionary sense fitness refers to the measure of reproductive success of an individual or of organisms in general. Those organisms that leave the largest number of mature offspring are the fittest. Fitness can be achieved through survival or mortality selection, mating success or sexual selection, and family size or fecundity selection. Fitness is critical for a species’ survival and is a major adaptation that all organisms do through a long period of time. <span> </span></span>

Fossils show that ancestors of the giraffe had shorter necks than the modern giraffe. The evolution of the modern giraffe may be
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

B. Directional selection

Explanation:

When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.

Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.
