An elephant has a long, powerful trunk. According to the ideas of Lamarck, how did the trait of long, powerful trunks develop in elephants?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was  famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.

It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.

In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.

Answers

Answer:

A logging company reseeds and replants in a forested area after cutting down trees for timber

Explanation:

Answer:

Sustainability is the capacity to endure in a relatively ongoing way across various domains of life.[1] In the 21st century, it refers generally to the capacity for Earth's biosphere and human civilization to co-exist. It is also defined as the process of people maintaining change in a homeostasis-balanced environment, in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.[2][failed verification] For many in the field, sustainability is defined through the following interconnected domains or pillars: environmental, economic and social,[3] which according to Fritjof Capra,[4] is based on the principles of systems thinking. Sub-domains of sustainable development have been considered also: cultural, technological and political.[5][6] According to Our Common Future, sustainable development is defined as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."[7][8] Sustainable development may be the organizing principle of sustainability, yet others may view the two terms as paradoxical (seeing development as inherently unsustainable).[9]

Answers

Answer:

Hope this Helped :)

Explanation:

1.Biological weathering-Plants and animals release acid forming chemicals that cause weathering and also contribute to the breaking down of rocks and landforms.

2.Plants change Earth’s surface through weathering and erosion.They take minerals from  the rock. This is a type of weathering, and it weakens the rock. Eventually the  surface of the rock starts to break down and become soil.

3.As larger plants like trees start to grow in a rocky area, their roots

grow into the small cracks in the rock. Slowly, as the tree grows, its roots break the rock apart. This forms more soil and makes it easier for other plants to grow there as well.

4.When too many animals live in one place,  they tend to eat and trample all the plants. Without the plants to protect the soil, it is  more likely to be eroded by wind and water.
