This type of natural selection is referred to as directional selection. In this type of natural selection, either one phenotype is preferred or the other; therefore, there is no equilibrium between the populations of the phenotypes that are present.
Examples of organisms that have undergone directional selection are black bears during the ice ages, African chichlid and sockey salmon.

Disruptive selection<span> is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. This selection select types with specific advantages.
</span>Directional selection favors a single phenotype at one of the ends of the variations (extremes) and stabilizing selection favors <span>an average phenotype with no extreme variations.
</span>So, natural selection that favors the one extreme in the range of variation for a phenotype is called directional selection.

What adverse effects does covering the land with concrete and asphalt create?
Aloiza [94]
<h3>Adverse effects of covering the land with concrete and asphalt is Natural resources are depleted.</h3>

  • Asphalt is a petroleum-based product. Concrete requires rock, sand and a fabricated cement component to strengthen the material hold the pavement material.
  • Fortunately, industry innovation has led to meaningful progress toward resource conservation.
  • Road construction companies have developed ways to reuse existing concrete and asphalt by remixing it materials.

Indicate whether each of the following descriptions better applies to a centromere (C), a telomere (T), or an origin of replicat
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

T T C O C T

Explanation:

Each eukaryotic chromosome usually has repeated telomere sequences ranging from 2 to as many as 2000.

There is normally just one specialized DNA sequence called the centromere per eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecule.

The origin of replication is the site where DNA duplication starts in S phase.

The centromere attaches the chromosome to the mitotic spindle via the kinetochore structure.

Teleomere contains repeateted sequences at the ends of the chromosomes.

Explain how the processes of sea-floor spreading and magnetic reversal produce bands of oceanic crust that have different magnet
WARRIOR [948]

Explanation:

As the two plates move away from each other in a divergent boundary, the magma from the mantle beneath rises to replace the void created. The magma then cools into a new crust. Before the magma cools, the iron minerals align themselves with the magnetic fields of the earth due to their ferromagnetic properties. These cause the rocks after they are cooled to seem to have bands.

Due to magnetic reversals of the earth's magnetic fields (i.e change in magnetic north and south poles) over several hundred thousand years, these bands will orient differently depending on the then earth magnetic polarity when the magma was cooling.

How many paths through which charge can flow would be shown in a circuit diagram of a parallel circuit? more information is need
Tasya [4]

Answer: More than 1

Explanation:

A parallel circuit is defined by having more than one path through which current can flow. This is in contrast to a Series circuit where the current flows through just one path.

Even though there are multiple paths for the current to flow through, the current flowing through all the paths must add up to the total current that is being supplied from the source.
