Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together. The evolution of long necks in giraffes enabled them to feed on leaves that other animals could not giving them a competitive advantage. It is the best example of what So we can tell from the question that the giraffes being able to feed on leaves that other animals could not reach gives them a better food source. And so because of that access to that better food source, since they're the only ones who were able to reach those leaves high up, that basically increased their survival rate. So the better food source gave them an increase in survival rate because they could eat more and reproduce more. And so due to the characteristics of their long neck giving them that benefit. They basically passed on these characteristics due to the laws of natural selection. So they pass on characteristics. And so this is an example of an improvement to the species fitness. So they had an improvement to their fitness, making them best fit for survival. And that's because of those adaptations of their long neck making answer choice. C. The correct answer. Because over time the evolution of the long necks and the giraffes let them get to that better food source, which then their survival rate because they had a better access to food and that allowed them to reproduce more and they passed on those characteristics so that over time the long neck traits stayed in those giraffes and it basically improved their fitness, making them better for survival. So answer choice. C. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
