The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than those with shorter legs. although the existing cheetah population shows a variety of leg lengths, cheetah legs are not continuing to increase in length from one generation to the next. which of the following is a possible explanation? a. the genes that are involved in cheetah leg length do not undergo mutation.
b. cheetahs with long legs are reproductively isolated from cheetahs with short legs.
c. natural selection does not act on traits involved in predation.
d. longer cheetah leg bones are more likely to break.

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

And give a detailed description! scientist observes the boundary between two tectonic plates for a decade and finds that no new volcanoes have formed over the course of her investigation. does this result support the theory of plate tectonics? why or why not?

Color blindedness is a sex-linked trait. if we could see the pedigree chart for several more generations of the family illustrated here, we would expect a) more males to be color blind. eliminate b) more females to be color blind. c) no females to ever be color blind. d) an equal number of males and females that are color blind.
