Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
Answer:
This is called wind shear, and it can induce a spinning movement in the air. At first this creates a spinning cylinder of air that is parallel to the surface. But as with any thunderstorm, the convective cells in a hurricane create strong updrafts. These can tilt the spinning air upright; a tornado is born.
Answer:
The receptors in the aortic and carotid bodies are chemoreceptors.
Explanation:
Chemoreceptors are specialized cells that are responsible for detecting and converting chemical signals into biological signals, to relay that information to the brain, where they will finally be interpreted. Among them we find the peripheral chemoreceptors, which are the aortic bodies, located along the wall of the aortic arch and innervated by the vagus nerve, and the carotid bodies, located in the neck. . Carotid bodies are stimulated by variations in the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as variations in blood pH. When the pH decreases the CO2 increases and the oxygen decreases, they activate the chemoreceptors to increase breathing.
