Giraffes have long necks that allow them to reach more food sources in their habitat. The long neck trait is an example of A. selection. B. adaptation. C. radiation. D. homology.
Homework Answers
Answer:B. adaptation.
The long neck in giraffes is due to the adaptation in the natural habitat. In the course of the evolution, the adapations are necessary for the animals to survive , for survival, the organism should undergo adaptation.Due to long long it can eat the leaves from the trees.

O True False Question 10 1 pts How did the early evolutionist Lamarck explain giraffes' long necks? Giraffes born with the longest necks were more likely to flourish and survive, then pass down this natural trait to their offspring During a giraffe's lifetime, its neck became longer to reach higher leaves in its environment, and it passed down this acquired trait to its offspring. Giraffes with shorter necks changed their eating habits in response to their mutation. They were able...

A. Beetles and hummingbirds have wings, but these organisms are not related to one another. The fact that they both have wings is an example of ______. a homology a shared derived trait a unique derived trait an analogy B. Mammals share the same types of bones in their forelimbs, such as humerus, radius, ulna, capals, metacarpals, and phalanges. This is an example of ______________. an analogy a unique derived trait convergent evolution a homology C. Humans and baboons have...

6. (Answer this question using the neutral theory of molecular evolution) One of Charles Darwin's main ideas was that life evolves by natural selection, following a rule of "survival of the fittest." For example, if you look historically at giraffes, it is hypothesized that those with taller necks tended to be selected for evolutionarily because they could reach more food high up in trees. When we consider DNA, the same principles of natural selection apply. Those DNA regions that have...

Which example illustrates the difference between Lamarck's vs. Darwin's theories of how new species come from existing species. A. Lamarck may have stated that with the rapid distance between pieces of ice in the arctic, polar bears would naturally be able to swim further than their parents would have, whereas Darwin would have said that the polar bears who could swim far enough would survive, those who could not would die. B. Lamarck may have stated that with the need...

One selective force (or mixture of forces) limits the largest viable birth weight of a human baby, while another selective force limits the smallest viable birth weight of a baby. This is called .............. natural selection. a. Artificial b. Fictional c. Directional d. Disruptive e. Stabilizing A population splits into two rather different populations. The two phenotypic extremes of the original population are favored over the more common central phenotype of the original population. This is called ............ natural selection....

Natural selection can move a population beyond its initial range of variation because a. sudden increases in mutation rates are often induced by selection. b. under genetic drift there is less variation and under selection there is more. c. selection can expose hidden variation. d. selection usually increases the randomness of mating, thus increasing variation. Which of the following is true of continuously varying characters? a. They allow for blending of the effects of two genes, the blended version passed...

1. Which of the following is/are required for natural selection to occur? A. The trait must be used or it will no longer be passed down B. Trait must be inherited from the father, not mother C. The species could produce more offspring than their environment can support D. Members of the population must have inherited traits that could vary E. Members must have an equal ability to survive and reproduce 2. Which of the following statements is/are true? A....
