Answer:

Disruptive Selection.

Explanation:

Disruptive selection, also known as selection diversification, explains shifts in population genetics that prefer extreme values for a trait over intermediate values. In this case, trait variation increases, and the population is split into two different classes. So, in the given case where A "U-shaped" distribution for a trait, with high frequencies of individuals who exhibit extreme values for a trait (and few individuals with medium values), is most likely to be caused by Disruptive selection.

Weather is an example of rapid environmental changes.

Explanation:

Environment refers to our natural world surroundings. Rapid means fast or quick. Weather around us keeps changing as the earth rotates and revolves around the sun. It changes depending on the month of the year or may change from day to night. You can also note the room temperature at different times in a day, it keeps changing mostly minorly but it does change. There are sunny, foggy, rainy, cold etc days and hence we can say that weather is example of rapid environmental changes.

Why don't all thermodynamically favored reactions occur rapidly?
serg [7]

solution:

Thermodynamically favorable reaction is the products, because the reaction occurs spontaneously, without the need for energy to be added.

Because a reaction is thermodynamically favoured does not mean that it will be a fast reaction. So 'yes' they always proceed but possibly infinitesimally slowly. Temperature is the most common way of quickening a reaction. Of course a catalyst also does so but this generally by changing the way the reaction occurs, i.e. the mechanism is different using a catalyst but the product is the same. Enzymes are natures catalysts, in synthetic chemistry (and in you car exhaust) metal based compounds are often used.

All reactions have an activation energy EaEa between reactants and products and a small increase in the size of this can slow a reaction exponentially. Experimentally, the rate constant is generally found be of the form k=k0exp(−Ea/RT)k=k0exp(−Ea/RT), which is the Arrhenius equation, with R the gas constant and T the temperature in Kelvin .
