EXPLAIN PLEASE The male pom-pom monkey of the island of Hoi Polloi has evolved to have long bright puffs of turquoise fur all ar

ound his neck. The female pom-pom monkey has no pom-poms and, in fact, no turquoise fur at all. Using the pom-pom monkeys as your example, describe how natural selection has affected the male pop-pom monkey population over thousands of generations.

Answer:

Through natural selection, organisms carrying better traits to survive in an ecosystem are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Through evolution, the allelic frequency of the population changes in abundance of the traits which are favoured by natural selection. As the male pom-pom monkeys carrying  long bright puffs of turquoise fur all around his neck had a better adaptation to survive on the island hence, they were favoured by natural selection and through evolution all long bright puffs of turquoise fur all around his neck evolved.

What is a feature of bones that are still increasing in length?
OLEGan [10]
The appropriate response is ligament in epiphyseal plate. The epiphysis is the adjusted end of a long bone, at its joint with contiguous bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate. It is a hyaline ligament plate in the metaphysis at each finish of a long bone.

In which type of front is the flow of air on both sides of the front almost parallel to the line of the front?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: the answer is B which is stationary

Explanation:

This type of front behaves like a warm front only that it is quiescent because the front barely shifts its position. The weather may also be similar to that of a warm front. The two abutting air masses run almost parallel to the front because none is stronger than the other to cause displacement.

True or false: Theoretically, it is possible (but very difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while.
Debora [2.8K]

It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.

There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.

There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

  • no mutation
  • random mating
  • no gene flow
  • infinite population size
  • and no selection (natural nor forced).

You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.

For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.

Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.
