Your friend remarks, "The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; as a result, its offspring inherited longer necks” Which statement is the best response to correct your friend’s misconception? Group of answer choices Overproduction of offspring leads to a struggle for survival. Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance. Characteristics acquired during an organism's life are generally not passed on through genes to its offspring. Only favorable adaptations have survival value.

Your friend remarks, "The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; as a result, its offspring inherited longer necks” Which statement is the best response to correct your friend’s misconception? Group of answer choices Characteristics acquired are generally not passed on through genes to its offspring. Only favorable adaptations have survival value. Body that are used extensively become larger and stronger. Overproduction of offspring leads to a struggle for survival.
Each organism has its way of adaptation; how will you describe the adaptation of an organism to survive?
During a study session about evolution, one of your fellow students remarked “The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; its offspring inherited longer necks as a result.” Which statement is MOST likely to be helpful in correcting this student’s misconception? Why? * No answer Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance. Spontaneous mutations can result in the appearance of new traits. Only favorable adaptations have survival value. Characteristics acquired during an organism’s life are generally not passed on through genes.
Discuss how changes in organisms within an environment affect their survival. Specifically discuss the effects of a gene mutation for color in beetles. << Read Less
Background: In class we did a project about m and m’s and there ability to evolve and natural selection. (Yes I know they can’t actually evolve it was just used as a example in class) however I can’t figure out this question. Occasionally a mutant may occur and produce a candy that is misshapen or Pointier or flatter than the rest. Often this proves to be a weakness, but a rare mutation may confer extra M&M durability. Other mutations in M&Ms could occur ( like ones that result in a new color). A mutant un you population represents a new _________. What goes in the blank
Macular degeneration is a serious disease of the eyes that can lead to blindness. A recent study suggeststhat nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, found in green leafy vegetables, can slow the onset andprogress of this disease in humans. In the study, a group of 2000 older individuals were contacted throughrandom digit dialing and asked about their eating habits. (Macular degeneration usually manifests later inlife.) The group who ate green leafy vegetables fewer than two times a week had a significantly higher rateof macular degeneration (25% higher) than those who ate green leafy vegetables five or more times perweek. They also had a higher rate (5%) of cases that were considered severe among those who had thedisease.(a) Determine whether the study is an observational study or an experiment. Explain how you know.(b) If the study is an experiment, identify the control and treatment groups. If the study is observational,state whether it is a case-control study, and if so, identify…

34 You have a pet fish. You have been tapping on the glass wall of its tank everymorning to say hello and then you feed your fish and watch him swim to the surfaceto eat. One evening you tap on the glass wall to say goodnight to your fish. Younotice that your fish comes to the surface of the water.Explain what type of behaviour this is and how this behaviour aids the survival of thisanimal.Answer in a sentence format.
Climate change causes problems for organisms that have adapted to their environments. Please list two problems that climate change could cause which would prevent organisms from surviving in an environment to which they are well adapted.
Novel and complex biological structures can evolve through aseries of incremental modifications, each of which benefits theorganism that possesses it
If it is possible asnwer all the following questions, if not, i would like to know about question 2 and question 3. thank you. 1. Why is the statement, humans evolved from monkeys, incorrect? 2. In recent years, strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotics have created serious health care challenges for our society. Based on what you've learned about natural selection, explain how the overuse of antibiotics could influence the evolution of bacterial diseases. 3. How does the peppered moth example demonstrate that evolution is directional? 4. Is is viable to believe both in creation and evolution
The broad thin ears of this African elephant help dissipate heat during hot days of its habitat - a trait that makes the survival of the organism possible in that habitat. This is an example of response to stimulus growth and development hierarchial order of organism evolutionary adaptation inter-species interaction
