Its because a long spine cacti can reproduce more because it has more survival capacity than the short spine cacti and because of this reason the short spine cacti cannot protect it self because it has a shorter spine that could protect itself from danger.
There is no correct answer here it depends on your body and how fast your motabolism is.
<span>Segregation
For a trait to show or express itself in an individual it must have two types of the same allele (for example P and p) showing on the chromosomes. The showing of both alleles on an offspring's chromosomes means that both parents have the same trait and that is why there is a chance for an allele to become dominant in other words to express itself in the offspring. However if only one allele is transferred in the genes of the offspring that means that the trait that the allele is responsible for, will remain unexpressed.</span>
Answer:
<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>
Explanation:
Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.
As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.
As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
