In a tropical forest some leaves are dark green and some are light green. In a population of caterpillars, homozygous dominant d

ark green caterpillars thrive eating the dark green foliage, while homozygous recessive light green caterpillars thrive eating light green foliage. However, heterozygous caterpillars of an intermediate color green are easily seen by birds and eaten, thus their numbers are far less than the dominants or recessives. This is an example of ____ selection.

Answer:

This is an example of "Disruptive selection".

Explanation:

<em>Disruptive selection</em> occurs when <em>selective pressure</em> <em>favor homozygous</em>. In equilibrium, <em>the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost</em>. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.  

The disruptive selection causes an <em>increase</em> in the two types of <em>extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms</em>. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.

Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the <u>extremes forms</u>.  Individuals in <u>the middle</u> are not successful at survival or reproduction.

<em>Color</em> is very important when it comes to <em>camouflage</em>. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can <em>hide from predators</em> more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.

Ability to be molded. A:density B:plasticity
sdas [7]
The answer is B

Explanation. The density explains the amount of mass for how small or large an object is. Best way to test density is with water. If it is MORE DENSE (heavier in small area) it will sink.

Select all that are true about the different types of polysaccharides. (There may be more than one correct answer).
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: The correct answer is 2, 3 and 5.

Explanation:

Glycogen: This is a branched biopolymer that consists of linear chains of glucose residue that are linked together by alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds. Branches are linked to the chains from which they are branching off by alpha 1,6 glycosidic bonds between the first glucose on the new branch and a glucose on the stem chain.

Cellulose: This is a structural polysaccharide that is found in cell walls of plants and it acts as dietary fiber when consumed. Cellulose has beta 1,4 linkages that can not be properly digested.

Starch: This is a linear chain of glucose molecules attached by alpha 1,4 bonds
