Answer

<u>(D). vectors is a correct answer</u>

Explanation:

A vector transferred the infected agent from the animals which are infected to the human, which results in vector-borne disease.

Mosquitoes are one of the examples of the biological vector which causes vector-borne diseases by carrying an infectious agent they transfer to the human through its bite.

Disease which is transmitted by the mosquitoes is dengue, yellow fever, malaria, etc.

Thus this how mosquitoes can transmit viruses from one organisum to another by acting as biological vector which carry infectious agent.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m

Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.

Science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings, on what are they gliding?

Citrus2011 [14]

Soaring is a science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings. They are maintaining thrust and gliding downward but staying aloft

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Soaring birds is where the birds can maintain flight without wing flapping, because they using rising air currents. Many gliding birds are able to lock their extended wings by means of a specialized tendon. Some land birds such as vultures and certain hawks, sustain flight for long periods without flapping their wings.

For example soaring California Condor spreads its primary feathers so that each acts as a small, high-aspect-ratio wing. This reduces turbulence at the wingtips and helping the condor to stay aloft circling slowly in thermals.

Vultures have a low aspect ratio (ratio of length to width of the wing) which generally produce a lot of drag. Vultures overcome the problem of by flying with their primary feathers extended, creating slots between them. Each primary serves as an individual high-aspect-ratio wing. This high-aspect-ratio reducing wingtip turbulence and lowering the stalling speed of the wings. This helps vultures to circle in thermals, maintaining thrust by gliding downward, but staying aloft by sinking at a rate slower than the hot air rising.
