A

This should be considered a case of natural selection because humans were not selecting for particular desirable traits.

Explanation:

The individuals in the population who held even the slightest advantage in the tolerance of the oil spill had higher chances of surviving and passing their genes to the next generation. Fishes with low tolerance perished even before getting to maturity.  Therefore with each generation, traits for oil tolerance in the population increased by natural selection enabling the population to evolve towards  increased intolerance to oil over a period of several generations.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Flight-or-flight response is a response or physiological reaction towards external stimuli. Systematic desensitization is a methodology to control anxiety during speech. Hence, these two are not relaxation techniques.  Transforming novelty into familiarity is also a methodology to remain prepared during a speech by practicing it well. Visualization is a technique that helps our mind to relax by using imagination to reach a relaxed state of mind.

Hence, option B is correct

Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.

jekas [21]

Coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.

<h3>How coyote population changed?</h3>

The modern Northeast (Maryland) coyote population changed from the historic (North Dakota) population over the past 70 years due to climate change as well as change that occurs in their genes. Climate change is the major factor that is responsible for change in coyote population.

So we can conclude that coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.
