What adaptation do giraffes have to hep them eat leaves?
giraffes have long necks and spots
Do giraffes have special adaptation?
I have no idea but as i am an expert on giraffes i persume they do. lets have sex now
What is the structural adaptation of the giraffe?
A long neck that enables it to reach fruit and leaves at the top of trees. This adaptation happened because the giraffes with the longer necks survived when the shorter necked giraffes couldn't. The shorter necked giraffes did not have enough food to eat, as it was all unreachable in the trees. Thus the longer necked giraffes who survived mated with other long necked giraffes and produced more long necked giraffes!
How do giraffes show territorial behavior?
All mammals, including giraffes, care for their young. They have to be fed milk by their mother and are protected until they are old enough to be alone.
How would Lamarck explain the development of giraffes with long necks?
Lamarck would explain the development of giraffes with long necks as a result of the giraffes stretching their necks to reach higher leaves, and passing on this acquired trait to their offspring. This is known as the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Do giraffes live in Mexico?
Giraffes are not native to North America, they are a native species of Africa. Giraffes however, are fully capable of surviving in captivity in North America. We can extrapolate from climate conditions, that the giraffe species could survive out of captivity in the southern areas of North America, particularly southern Mexico.
Why are giraffe's important?
Because, other animals feed on them, then the remains go into the ground to help the soil, then new trees grow from that soil, that baby giraffes get to eat. giraffes are very important.
Is genetics an example of an adaptation?
No. Genetics is a topic in biology. I think what you mean is, the mutations that form in DNA to give different features may be beneficial to the survival of the organism. E.g. Giraffes with long necks are more likely to survive than the giraffes with short necks because they can reach leaves on higher trees but the short giraffes can not. The short giraffes have evidently become extinct as a result.
What is the combination of an elephant and a giraffe called?
Elephants and giraffes are completely different species which don't mate with each other to produce any offspring.
What is the adaptation or camouflage of a giraffe?
Giraffes have dark spots that let them blend in trees so they can hide from predators. Every giraffe has a different pattern of spots.
How are giraffes important?
Food Chain- what a giraffe eat and what eats a giraffe.
What is a beneficial inherited trait that is passed on to future generations?
A beneficial inherited trait is a characteristic of a creature that is passed down in the DNA of the mother and father, via the sex cells, to the offspring. Imagine if giraffes all had very short necks, like a horse. They would only have access to the food on low bushes or at the bottom of trees. But, one giraffe, by freak chance (mutation in the DNA) has a slightly elongated neck. Because this giraffe has a longer neck, it can reach higher food. This means that it is less likely to go hungry, as it can reach food that the others cant, and is therefore more likely to survive to be a healthy adult. The giraffe with a longer neck then reproduces, and the trait is passed on to the offspring. The offspring then mates with others, and the gene is spread around the herd of giraffes. Eventually, all of the giraffes have slightly longer necks, which means they all have to share the same food again. Then a mutation causes another giraffe to get an EVEN LONGER neck, and the whole process is repeated, until giraffes all end up with really long necks, and the ones with short necks that cannot reach higher food become extict, as they cannot compete with the longer-necked giraffes.
