Answer:

Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is the type of natural selection wherein two extreme phenotypes are favored due to their survival and reproductive success over the intermediate phenotype. It results in two peaks of distribution in the normal distribution curve.

In the given example, two extreme phenotypes with respect to the shell color of snails are favored in two different habitats. Dark shelled snails exhibit survival advantage in the shady forest while the light shelled snails are favored in well-lit habitats.

Since two extreme shell colors are favored over the intermediate-range by natural selection, it represents disruptive selection.

There are 450 calories in 100 g of trail mix. If you burn 30 calories in 10 minutes of walking, how much trail mix should you ea
irinina [24]

Answer:

to replenish the energy spent walking for 2 hours, 80g of trail mix should be eaten

Explanation:

Firstly, let us calculate the number of calories burnt in 2 hours

in 10 minutes; 30 calories are burnt

∴ in 1 minute 30/10  calories are burnt = 3 calories are burnt

2 hours = 120 minute

∴ in 120 minutes 3 × 120 = 360 calories are burnt.

Next, let us calculate the amount of trail mix that contains 360 calories

100g of trail mix = 450 calories

450 calories = 100 g

1 calory = 100/450

∴ 360 calories = 360 × (100/450)

=  360 × 0.222 = 80g

∴ to replenish the energy spent walking for 2 hours, 80g of trail mix should be eaten
