The fish adapted to the polluted water, so it's a form of evolution

Answer:

The process that occurred in the lake is natural selection. In the presence of an external environmental influence such as the pollution, only the trouts that were fit to survive or in other words those that have the alleles that help in adapting to the new conditions live and increased in numbers. In such a case, one can say the fittest of the organisms survived and the corresponding allelic frequency in that population increased over time. The organisms carrying the other alleles died due to pollution and hence the overall frequency of alleles change.

Outline what has to occur in the body for a reflex and a voluntary action to occur.
enot [183]

Answer:

For involuntary actions (reflexes) the information is first detected in the sensor and travels along sensory neurons to the spinal cord. Once the action potential reaches the spinal cord, the information is transmitted across the synapse to the motor neuron. for voluntary actions,

movements are commanded by the motor cortex, the zone of the cerebrum located behind the frontal lobe. The motor cortex sends a neural message that moves through the brain stem along the spinal cord and into the neural network to the muscle being commanded.

A male cardinal's red color is an example of a trait affected by natural selection. The females of the species choose mates
kompoz [17]

Answer:

In the cardinals, if the females start using a different criterion than the color of the feather when they choose couple, most likely to happen is that decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the selection pressure has been relieved.</em>
  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the cardinals try different ways to impress the females.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because the only reason for variation was selection pressure.</em>

In the context of natural selection, male cardinals court females using the coloring of their feathers as a form of sexual selection. This means that the shades of red in the feathers are a selection criterion in these birds, and the more visible shades represent an advantage.

But, if the selection criterion was not the color of the feathers, this trait would no longer represent an advantage in the competition between the males to be chosen as a mate. Instead, the trait that would determine sexual selection would be the one that experiences an increase in its variation<em>.</em>
