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.

gavmur [86]

When a population is small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population grows bigger, the population reaches carrying capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.

2. The higher the temerature of the air in the oven, <u>the (speed of which) a cake will bake.</u>

3. Lemon trees receiving the most water produced the most<u> lemons (amount)</u>

4. An investigation found that more <u>bushels of potatoes</u> were <u>produced</u> when the soil was fertalized (amount) more.

5. The amount of <u>pollution</u> produces by cars was measured for cars using gasoline containing different amounts of lead.

Explanation:

The independent variable is what you change and the <u>dependent</u> variable is what is being measured. It is like cause and effect.

(sorry this is my first answer apologizes for any mistakes)
