- What are the similarities and differences of the species in the Animal Diversity? Answer in five sentences each.arrow_forwardWhich choice best describes a reasonable mechanism for animal structures becoming better suited over evolutionary time to specific functions? Animals that eat the most food become the most abundant. Animals that restrict their food intake will become less abundant. Animals with mutations that give rise to effective structures will become more abundant. Animals with parents that continually improve their offspring's structures will become more abundant. Animals with inventions that curtail reproduction will become more abundant.arrow_forwardInsects display an incredible diversity of body forms and ecological roles. Some insects undergo complete metamorphosis, a lifecycle involving distinct larval, pupal, and adult stages. How might this lifecycle contribute to the success and diversity of these insects? It allows the larval and adult stages to exploit different resources or habitats. It allows the insects to reproduce more rapidly. It provides a defense against predators. It allows the insects to migrate long distances.arrow_forward
