Nudibranchs are marine gastropods that lack shells. many of these gastropods retain the foul-tasting poisons of their prey and s

ecrete them when threatened. the bright coloration of the nudibranchs warns predators to avoid them. based on this information, how has adaptation allowed marine gastropods to be successful without a shell

Many poisonous and toxic animals are brightly coloured, and other animals and predators are instinctively wary of brightly coloured animals. This is called warning colouration or aposematism. Described more scientifically, these colouration adaptations are to deter predators by using a warning signal,<span> which indicates that consuming the prey item would be unprofitable</span>. Nudibranchs back up this warning by secreting poisons that would be toxic or foul-tasting to predators. Nudibranchs have developed this strategy probably because it has a lower energy cost compared to developing a protective shell.

Anni [7]

Answer:

variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA.  The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment.  Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes.  Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.

Example: Peppered moth

In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark.  The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten.  The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten.  Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat.  By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%.  This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Snapdragons occur in nature as either green or yellow plants. A green snapdragon is homozygous and has the genotype CC. A yellow snapdragon is heterozygous and has the genotype Cc. Suppose that a gardener crosses two yellow snapdragons, and one-third of the offspring are green and two-thirds of the offspring are yellow.

What type of allele could be responsible for the 2:1 offspring ratio seen when two yellow snapdragons are crossed?

dominant allele

Explanation:

As a result of two yellow snapdragons crossed, the dominat yellow allele gives the reason why the reult reflects in such a way that there is yellow dominates over green and leads to why yellow has two-third while green has one-third
