The most common circumference to be expected in this situation is 2 cm.

Since it is given that the original population of oak trees contains acorns with the most common circumference of 2 cm, thus, the same circumference will be favored after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection occurs when natural selection results in stabilization i.e. large number of individuals attain mean or average value for a particular trait. In this process, phenotypes of medium-sized individuals are favored through natural selection.

Since it is already mentioned that the mean circumference is 2 cm in the original population thus the same value will be expected after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Do all the days of the year have the same amount of daylight? yes or no how?
Ket [755]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Atmospheric refraction raises the sun about 1/2 degrees upward in our sky at both sunrise and sunset. This advances the time of actual sunrise, while delaying the time of actual sunset. This gives several minutes of extra daylight, not just at an equinox.

laila [671]

Answer:

By action potential nerve contract the muscle

Explanation:

The muscle contract when the nervous system sends action potential to the muscle. So the nervous system delivers signal to muscle, the first signal reaches the neuromuscular junction. The signals are passed by a chemical messenger called neurotransmitter release by motor neurons, the chemicals bring reaction and shorten the muscle fibre. When neurotransmitter are absent or reduce in concentration the process reverse and muscle relax again.
