-By storing water inside them.
-They have roots that grow deep down to get as much moisture as they can under ground.
-They have sharp spines to protect them from animals (predators) that want to eat it.
-Their leaves are reduced to spines to reduce water loss.
-They have a thick 'fleshy' like stem to stop any water or moisture coming out which stores water inside.
Cacti have shallow roots so when the occassional rainfall falls, the roots soak up the water fast. A cactus stores roots in the body of the cactus.
they prevent too much loss of water
im not sure but maybe cool
Charles Darwin
Adaptive traits become more common through the process of natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment have higher survival and reproductive success. Over generations, these advantageous traits are passed on to offspring, increasing their frequency in the population. Additionally, genetic variation and mutations can introduce new adaptive traits, further enhancing the potential for adaptation in changing environments. This cumulative process leads to the prevalence of traits that improve fitness and survival.
An adaptive trait is one that helps an individual better interact with their environment. Adaptive traits include thumbs in humans for example.
This concept is known as natural selection. It is a key mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin, which states that individuals with advantageous genetic traits for survival and reproduction are more likely to pass those traits on to the next generation. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of adaptive traits in a population.
Charles Darwin.
Adaptive in evolution refers to traits or characteristics that increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in a specific environment. These adaptations are shaped by natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation.
d. the accumalation of minor adaptive traits, over time, leads to new species they are adapted to survive They are the ones that are best adapted to survive in there environment.
Yes: Prickly Pears, Barrel cacti, Saguaro cacti, Aztekium cacti, and Echinopsis cacti a.k.a the hedgehog cactus
cactus for a single plant cacti for plural
All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti.
