Which of the following is written in a way that is MOST ACCURATE? (the others have inaccurate wording) Group of answer choices Spiders with the stickiest silk caught more food, passing on the trait to many babies until super sticky silk became the norm in the population. One mutant moose had taller legs, crashing through brush and snow more efficiently and so it became the norm in the population. A population of giraffes evolved taller necks in order to reach higher leaves. As the predators got smarter, rabbits learned to hide in burrows and passed what they learned to their offspring.

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
