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.

Consider the cooling curve above. The substance is changing state from a gas to a liquid to a solid. As the temperature changes
Anni [7]

Answer: B)  there is a decrease in kinetic energy and the molecules get closer together.

Explanation: Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, thus as temperature decreases, kinetic energy also decreases.

Gas is the state of matter in which particles are very loosely bound and hence can easily move past one another very easily and have highest kinetic energy.

Liquid is the state of matter in which particles are loosely bound and hence can move past one another easily and have high kinetic energy.

Solid is the state of matter in which particles are tightly bound and hence can not move easily and have low kinetic energy.

Thus on moving from gaseous to solid state, the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules get closer together.

Answers amoeba sisters: video recap meiosis
Schach [20]

1. Interphase is an important and the longest phase of the cell cycle during which the cell prepares for division by coping its DNA. It is metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell grows, obtains nutrients and metabolizes them. There are three stages of interphase: G1 (the cell growth), S (replication of DNA, chromosomes are copied) and G2 (preparation for division). Without this phase, genetic material wouldn’t be ready for the process of meiosis  and haploid gametes couldn’t be created.

2. Homologous chromosomes are the similar but not totally identical chromosome pairs that an organism receives from its two parents. During the prophase I of meiosis they pair up: each chromosome aligns with its homologue partner via link-chiasmata ( the two match up at corresponding positions). Those homologue pairs separate during a first stage of cell division (meiosis I-reduction of chromosomes number, from diploid to haploid), while sister chromatids separate during a second stage (meiosis II).

3. Crossing over is a process in which homologous chromosomes trade their parts. Crossing over is process of genetic recombination where DNA is cut and then repaired. Cut and repair of homologous chromosomes allow them to exchange some of their genetic information. As a consequence of crossing over, new arrangement of maternal and paternal alleles on the same chromosome is achieved. It is the way to create varations.

4. During the metaphase I, homologue pairs are lined up comparing to metaphase II where individual chromosomes are lined up. It is because during the meiosis I homologue pairs separate and chromosome number reduce from diploid to haploid. On the other hand, during the meiosis II, sister chromatids separate.

5. Nondisjunction is the consequence of cell division, where there is no properly separation. There are  different forms of nondisjunction:  

• failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I,  

• failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II.

After nondisjunction, resulting daughter cells are with abnormal chromosome numbers -aneuploidy.

Which body system is responsible for protecting the body against infection?
Rainbow [258]

Answer: The immune system

Explanation:

The immune system is a complex network of proteins and cells that defends the body against infection or any invasion. The human defense system in the body is actually made up of entire organs and vessel systems like the lymph vessels. The immune system is made up of organs that control the production and maturation of certain defense cells.

Initially, all living things are subjected to attack from disease causing agents. Even bacteria, so small that more than a million could fit on the head of a pin, have systems to defend against infection by viruses. This kind of protection gets more sophisticated as organisms become more complex.
