The correct answer is: Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that favors both extreme traits in a population (it is bimodal)  over intermediate traits. In the example above, it favors dark and light-snails (both are extreme traits). As a consequence, the population of snails is divided into two distinct groups. This happens because snails with intermediate brightness wouldn’t have suitable environment for them, wouldn’t be adopted to either shady forest or brushy edge areas.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Yes. That was the question he was trying to answer.

A. explain in detail why dissolved oxygen in seawater can be used as an indicator of primary production.
wel

"Dissolved oxygen in seawater is used as an indicator of primary production (as its surrogate, so to speak) because the amount of molecular oxygen produced during photosynthesis is directly proportional to the amount of carbon fixed during photosynthesis, and determining the amount of dissolved oxygen is much easier to do."
