The correct answer is tympanometer. A tympanometer is not used to measure hearing, but to rather measure the transmission of energy through the middle ear. In this way, tympanometry is an objective test of the function of the middle-ear. Tympanometry is used alongside other measures to asses hearing, such as pure tone audiometry.
Answer:
1 millimeter is 1,000,000 nanometers
Explanation:
Answer:
directional selection
Explanation:
The directional selection is a type of Darwinian selection where a particular phenotype is favored in the population, thereby modifying the allelic frequencies to increase the proportion of the favored phenotype. <em>Biston betularia</em>, also known as peppered moth, is a species that was influenced by directional selection in its recent past. Before the industrial revolution, the frequency of light-colored moths was predominant compared to the darker-colored phenotypes, because this color has higher adaptive fitness in a clean, no pollution environment, thereby light-colored moths were able to avoid predatory birds. However, during the industrial revolution, the frequency of dark-colored moths increased in response to pollution (i.e. darker environment), thereby conferring a higher adaptive fitness to darker phenotypes.
I believe it is behavioural isolation. When there are changes within a certain species, e.g. new birdcalls are formed in certain individuals in a species, "traditional" birds may not like such mating calls and only choose to mate with the more common birdcalls from majority of the birds. There are also some birds that may like the new birdcalls, and choose to mate with birds with those birdcalls. They become genetically isolated as they continue such behavior. Eventually, through genetic drift and other mutations, different species form from a single specie.
Hope this helps! :)
