Answer: D. Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation: Lamarck believed that organisms pass on traits to their offspring that they had acquired through use or diuse during their lifetime.  In this example, the theory would be that over time, elephants used their trunks in such a way that they became long and powerful.

Describe how population studies can be conducted in a school garden
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Population studies look at factors for one individual species.

Explanation:

In a garden, there are multiple species of plants growing. You could study different factors of each population, which is just all the individuals of one species in an area. For example, you could study how adding fertilizer affects the growth of tomato plants. To do this, you would have some tomato plants in the garden that have fertilizer added to the soil and some that don't. At the end of a certain period of time, maybe a month, measure the plants, find the average height and compare their growth. This is just one example, but there are lots of different things you could study.
