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.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The correct answer is-a polysaccharide found in animals

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is a highly branded form of amylopectin. In glycogen glucose residues are joined together by α1-4 glycosidic linkage and α 1-6 branching points occurs after every 8-10 glucose residues.

Glycogen is the main carbohydrate storage form of carbohydrates in animals. Glycogen is mostly present in liver and muscles. It breaks down into glucose and provide energy to the animal during the physical activity. Therefore glycogen is polysaccharide found in animals.
