Answer:

The question lacks options but the appropriate answer is DISRUPTIVE SELECTION.

Explanation:

Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection is one of the three types of natural selection that occurs when the extreme values of a trait are environmentally favored over the intermediate value. Over time the two extreme values of a particular trait becomes more rampant while the intermediate value gradually diminishes.

In this question regarding fur colour of rabbits. The alleles of fur colour (black, B and white, b) exhibits incomplete dominance to form an intermediate phenotype (gray). Hence, the extreme values of the fur colour trait in rabbits are the black and white phenotypes while the intermediate value is the Gray phenotype (showing black and white coloration).

When a population of rabbits that possess these three phenotypes migrate to an area that has very dark rocks as well as white colored stone, natural selection will favor the extreme phenotypes (black and white coloration) because they will be better adapted to the background color of that area i.e. black furrred rabbits will be able to camouflage perfectly in the parts with dark rocks while white furred rabbits will camouflage well in the parts with white stones allowing them escape predation.

However, the intermediate phenotype with both white and black colors (gray) will be easily spotted by predators in both parts of the area, hence, will be preyed upon. At the end, the black and white phenotypes of rabbits (extreme values) will be more common while the gray rabbits (intermediate) will gradually decline and get lost completely. This type of selection in which the two extreme values (black and white) are favored and the intermediate value is at a disadvantage is called DISRUPTIVE SELECTION.

Gray cannot blend. Dark rocks let black fur blend in. White sones can blend with white fur. Gray would stick out and then not survive. Population of black and white would go up, and then the gray would go down.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

The synaptic pruning during childhood results in a reduction in density of nerve cells, thus increasing the brain's efficiency.
<span>Synaptic pruning, which can include both axon and dendrite pruning, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs usually in early childhood. It is thought that this is the brain’s way of removing connections in the brain that are no longer needed and a way of maintaining more efficient brain function.</span>
