The correct answer is: b) directional selection

Directional selection is a type of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. In this case, phenotype of large crickets will be favored, because they cannot be eaten by lizards. Large crickets are advantageous in surviving and reproduction. This will cause the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that large size phenotype.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>b) Directional selection  </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Direction selection is the phenomenon in which a population’s genetic variance changes with respect to environmental changes to select a new phenotype. In this case, the size of cricket, the food source acts as the selection factor for the phenotype, the size of the lizard’s mouth.  

In order to accommodate the food source, a single phenotype of mouth size changes and the respective allele is favoured. Correspondingly, the allele frequency will shift unilaterally in one direction only.  

The increased frequency of the particular allele ensures a higher survival rate of the lizard. The population evolves towards the favoured phenotype.

nydimaria [60]

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.

Give an example (except for a plant responding to light) of an organism's response to a stimulus.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

plants For example, phototropism is the plant's response to stimulus, i.e. sunlight. A plant hormone “auxin” keeps the plant's direction towards the sun by activating the growth in a particular part of a stem. Similarly, gravitropism in plants responds to the stimulus, i.e. gravity

All of the following statements concerning autoclaving are true EXCEPT: a. Larger volumes require longer autoclaving times. b. A
krok68 [10]

c. All materials that need to be sterilized can be autoclaved.

As a widespread rule of thumb, you can not autoclave materials that can be infected with solvents, radioactive materials, risky or corrosive chemicals, or items that contain mutagens, carcinogens, or teratogens.

The catheter is a soft instrument, manufactured from polymers instead of any steel substance. The high warmness and water pressure of the autoclave can cause the polymer to melt or get broken.

Chlorides, sulfates, chlorine, hypochlorites, bleach, and acids aggressively attack chrome steel and might reason great damage to the autoclave chamber and plumbing. Hypochlorites, acids and bleaches are so caustic that they ought to never be sterilized or used to easy an autoclave.

Artemon [7]
Answer: Dominant and Recessive traits.

Explanation: I’m not for sure what the question is asking and my answer doesn’t make that much sense to answer the question but I know the offspring will have some form of dominant and recessive traits.
