Natural and artificial selection depend on genetic and phenotypic variation. In natural selection, the selective pressure comes

from the environment, and in artificial selection it comes from the human breeder. Suppose a breeder of pigeons has a population of birds with feather pigments that range from light to intermediate to dark. She selectively breeds the pigeons with intermediate pigmentation. After several generations, which pattern of evolutionary change will be observed among the pigeons? A. disruptive selection, in which pigeons with dark pigmentation are favored. B. stabilizing selection, in which pigeons with intermediate pigmentation are favored. C. directional selection, in which pigeons with dark pigmentation are favored. D. directional selection, in which pigeons with intermediate pigmentation are favored.

<h2>B) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

In artificial selection, breeders select superior breed for the breeding purpose so that this type of selection favors the superior genotype and eliminates inferior genotype, thus leading to genetic drift

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which intermediate genotype is favored but extreme genotypes (inferior and superior) are eliminated

In the given example of pigmentation in pigeons, breeding is selectively done with intermediate pigmentation hence intermediate genotypes will be favored

17. Which of the following examples of an ecological effect leading to an evolutionary effect is most correct? A) When seeds are
dusya [7]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Evolution refers to the gradual development of living organisms from earlier forms to the forms that exist today. One of the principal factors that lead to evolution is the ability of an organism to adapt to adverse changes in its environment. Organisms that are able to survive adverse changes in their environments usually go on to produce offspring that possess their parents' ability to survive.  A good example of this is given in option C, where individuals with denser fur were able to survive from severe cold and then give birth to young ones that inherit their parents' ability to survive severe cold.

The periodic table tells us both the symbol and atomic number of the elements.

3.

days as there are 7days in a week.

4.

vertical columns are called groups.

The vagina is at risk for infection because of its location and because it opens to the outside of the body. What is a protectiv
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Normal vaginal pH is acidic (4 to 5), which protects from infection.

Explanation:

The vaginal part in woman have high tendency to get infection because of moist internal condition and its location but vagina also have a protective mechanism which protect it from the infection.

A woman's vagina contains many species of Lactobacillus genus which secrete lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide that maintains the low pH level in the vagina. So due to this reason, the normal pH of the vagina remains between 4-5 which does not allow pathogenic bacteria to flourish and cause infection.
