Answer:

disruptive/diversifying selection  

Explanation:

Disruptive (also known as diversifying) selection is a type of natural selection where extreme phenotypic values are more favored rather than intermediate phenotypes. The disruptive selection favors the survivance and reproduction of organisms with extreme phenotypic traits, and in turn impairs the reproduction of organisms with intermediate traits, thereby changing the allele frequencies in the population in order to favor extreme values. An example of disruptive selection is the beak size of Galapagos finches, where extreme phenotypes of this trait have shown to be adaptive according to the type of food found in each island.

juin [17]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) indirect

b) mosaic

c) determinative

d) regulative

e) direct.  

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

The egg (ovum) like the embryo during the first embryonic divisions, do not possess any sign of polarity. This development mechanism can be called regulative development(in contrast to the mosaic model) since the fate of the cells that originate is not fixed and can be modified during development. In regulative embryos, part of the embryo can be removed and the remaining cells can compensate for the loss and give a complete individual as the final product.The strongest evidence that continues to support this regulatory model is based on the plasticity or potential that mammalian cells possess before implantation. It is known that the blastomeres produced by the first divisions can be replaced with each other or even can be eliminated without apparently altering the embryonic development and therefore they are equivalent (without polarity).

Which act prompted the developers to install stormwater management systems to handle the movement of polluted water?
Gre4nikov [31]
Natural landscapes such as forests, the soil absorbs much of the stormwater and plants help hold stormwater close to where it falls. In developed environments, unmanaged stormwater can create two major issues: one related to the volume and timing of runoff water (flooding) and the other related to potential contaminants that the water is carrying (water pollution).
