Answer:

a. Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Imagine there is a population of  red-colored, white colored,  and green colored wings butterflies on  a red- petals, green leaves hibiscus flower plants.

Generally the  red-colored wings will be camouflaged by the red-colored  hibiscus flower petals, while the green color of the leaves will masked the green colored butterflies.Therefore the white-colored butterflies will be exposed to predators and therefore selected against by environmental pressure leading to disruptive selection.

<u>Consequently in the  butterfly population,  there is  increased genetic variation in  red and green butterflies population ,  with consequent population diverse.</u>

<u />

Therefore when an extreme value for a trait(red and green wings colors) is  favoured for intermediate trait (white).The term that describes this is called Disruptive selection. One of the naturally selected  wings may  migrate from the population leading to speciation.

Answer: A- Disruptive selection

Explanation: Disruptive selection increases genetic variation as the population begins to be more different when selection existing in nature chooses multiple phenotypes reaching the highest degree which each have particular benefits. However, they tend to make single-celled life form that has interposed characteristics to produce smaller offspring while allowing the organisms that have the highest degree of characteristics to produce more offspring.

Hot spots can also be found along plate boundaries? True or false.​
Yuliya22 [10]

What is the first thing to appear in secondary succession?
mel-nik [20]

Answer is B. Soil

Explanation:

Secondary succession is one of the two types ecological succession of a plants life. As opposed to the first, primary succession, secondary succession is a process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil

zaharov [31]

A nurse is explaining to another nurse the difference between first-generation antipsychotics and second-generation antipsychotics. what is the biggest benefit of the second-generation antipsychotics?

First generation antipsyhotics are the conventional antipsyhotics which blocks the dopamine pathway by blocking the D2 receptors and reduces the dopaminergic neuro-transmission.

Second generation antipsyhotics also called atypical antipsychotics which partial block dopamine receptors and also affect other things like serotonin.

Second generation antipsyhotics are more effective in reducing the symptoms schizophrenia and also improves the overall quality of life. They also have a lower risk of neurological symptoms like tremors, like the first generation drugs.

Alchen [17]

The answer is a. mesosphere

Earth’s atmosphere is divided into 5 layer, from the outer layer it will be: Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere. The coldest area of the atmosphere would be the middle layer called mesosphere. The average temperature of this atmosphere is −85 °C , a bit lower than stratosphere temperature −60 °C.
