The data suggests that there is no change in height of sheep because of

Hardy Weinberg equillibrium.

Explanation:

Data given:

heights of 200 sheeps remains the same for two years.

reason=?

There is no change in the phenotype of the sheep population during two years as there is no effect of environmental factors, no evolution or genetic drift in the population. Such population happens due to Hardy Weinberg equillibrium.

This principle says that there will be no genetic variation in a population when no evolution causing factors are there. These factors are environmental, mutation, genetic drift, natural selection or gene flow. When no new alleles are added in the population it remains same.

Thus in case of the 200 sheeps it is assumed that they were in Hardy Weinberg equillibrium.

Answer:

The process of natural selection acts on height only in male sheep. this scenario may be cause by sexual selection . females are choosing taller mates for reproduction , leading to an increased likelihood that their offspring will inherit these genes.

_____ allows populations to adapt to the abiotic and biotic conditions where they live.

denis-greek [22]

<span>Natural selection is what allows a population to adapt because the animals that adapt are the ones that mate and pass along their genes. Without natural selection, evolution or adaptation would not be able to occur.</span>

Which of the following is NOT a solution to protect the water in the two wells in danger of becoming contaminated?

Anton [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Building a well between the two wells that goes deeper into the earth would not stop the water from being polluted .

Explanation:

Even if a well was constructed between the wells B and C, it wouldn't have stopped the contamination of the water. As the oil would still be leaking and it would contaminate the wells.

All of the other options can be used to stop the contamination.

Option A suggests building an impermeable membrane that would stop the oil flow. Hence, the water in the wells will not be contaminated.

Option B suggests not using the water from the wells and using an alternate water supply. The alternate water supply wouldn't be contaminated with oil.

Option D suggests chemically purifying the contaminated water. This can be an effective technique to clean the contaminated water.

Answer:

Si existe variación en el acervo genético de la población, esto permite que la selección natural actúe sobre los rasgos de la población que permiten la adaptación al ambiente cambiante. Cuanta más diversidad hay en una población, mayor es la probabilidad de que la población pueda adaptarse a los nuevos cambios.
