Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

lana [24]

Answer:

She will obtain results to support -or reject- her working hypothesis. These results are subjected to statistical analyses in order to confirm that they are statistically significant

Explanation:

The scientific method is a rigorous process that consists of raising a working hypothesis, which is tested by experimentation or observational procedures and analysis of the results. The statistical analyses may have key roles during this procedure. In an experiment that involves statistical analyses, the results are subjected to statistical measures to evaluate the significance level and thus confirm (or reject) the statements made in the working hypothesis. The p-value is one of the most used statistical measures to determine if differences are due to randomness, or they are statistically significant.

Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life?
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

All Animals have EVERY right to a good quality of life! It is humans with a typical human arrogance that decide who lives, who dies, who is food and who is not and how they will live and be killed. We even have Animal Protection laws for dogs, cats and “pets” and farm animals are treated like dirt, having very few protections! If you did to your dog what you do to pigs you would go to jail! Discrimination and arrogance taken to the nth degree! Since humans subject Animals to the existence humans choose and nobody ever asked a cow, a pig, a hen or any other animal how they want to live their life I think it can qualify as “Slavery”.
