Answer:
Spinal cord is a colon of nerve tissue that runs from the base of the skull to the center of the back.
Its function is to act as a highway communication between the body and the brain.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Stabilizing Selection
2. Directional Selection
3. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Stabilizing Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:
Example: For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.
Directional Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:
Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.
Disruptive Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:
Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
This mechanism describes the necessity of males to lead and form their own pride to show their dominance and power. That is why young lions leave and wander, and when they are ready, they fight for their right to lead their own pride.
So yes, Females tend to stay in their pride, but males may leave to join another pride. And that is the male instinct for lions in the wildlife.
On the other hand, males tend to stay in the same pride, taking care of their cubs, raising them, and hunting. That is what they do best, hunt animals to feed the pride and the cubs.
