Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "disruptive selection".
Explanation:
Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection at which extreme values for a trait are favored, while intermediate traits are more likely to disappear. In this example the finches tended to have either small beaks or large beaks because small beaks are best at eating soft seeds and large beaks are best at cracking seeds. This is an example of disruptive selection because the two extreme values for the size of beaks are favored.
Lava that hardens on the surface is called an extrusion. The rock layers below an extrusion are always older than the extrusion. ... There, the magma cools and hardens into a mass of igneous rock called an intrusion. An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it.
The reason is to help in seed dispersal. Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Due to the fact that plants have very limited mobility they have to rely upon variety of dispersal; vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Seed dispersal is important because if seed are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant which would result to competition between every one of the seedlings as well as the parent. The competition for essential growth factors such as light, space, water and nutrients.
