<span>Stabilizing selection is at work in this case. This is the force that allows a population to gradually center on a mean value due to a presence of a non-extreme bodily trait. The more extreme examples of the trait lead to the organisms being selected out, and the trait that is the least conspicuous wins out in the long-run.</span>

Read the following scenarios carefully and explain how natural selection will occur in each.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Noctural worms have the advantage over diurnal due to the fact that the nocturnal worms are burrowing during the feeding time of birds.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process in which organisms adapt according to environmental changes to increase their survival rate. Natural selection leads to natural changes in different organisms.

In this case, diurnal worms are forced by the natural selection here to adapt to the change if they want to survive. Here, natural selection works for the nocturnal and against the diurnal.

nergy used by the body to perform muscular contractions is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP.TrueFalse
olga2289 [7]

The answer is false.

Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions and many other energy-required functions is adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

The most important function of ATP is its ability to store and transport chemical energy within cells. That energy can be used for many chemical processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical synthesis.. When consumed in metabolic processes as an energy source, it becomes converted either to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) because one or two phosphate groups are released (hydrolysis of high-energy bonds).

Since ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate it can be used for the synthesis of nucleic acids.
