Human birth weights range very narrowly between 5.5 and 8.5 pounds. Babies much smaller than 5.5 lbs. suffer a higher mortality

due to low birth weight, while babies much larger than 8.5 lbs. can cause complications during birth and also have a higher mortality rate. This is an example of:a. Stabilizing selection b, Sexual selection c. Genetic drift d. Reproductive isolation e. Disruptive selection

Answer:

a.  Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Babies lower than 5.5lbs would suffer from various disorder because of low birth weight as their body would not be able to compete as well they would have weak immune system and malnourishment. Whereas high birth weight carry the equally above risk as their body wont be able to cope up and organs become insensitive to various hormones. for the survival the birth weight should be within a median range so that it would be favorable for themselves and surroundings.

Stabilizing selection occurs when a population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases. As in this example, an average baby weight has to favour against extreme variation for it's better survival.

therefore, this is an example of stabilizing selection.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Glycocalyx

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is carbohydrate rich (glycoprotein + glycolipid) coating that is found in outer surface of cell membrane of many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells specially bacteria.

Glycoprotein=Carbohydrate + Protein

Glycolipids=  Carbohydrate + Lipids

Glycocalyx provied a barrier between cell and its surrounding, adhesion and provide protection in bacteria. In eukaryotes it can be used to identify cells.

Outer hair cells near the center of the basilar membrane will
Likurg_2 [28]

The answer is outer hair cells can be seen near the center of the basilar membrane where the hightest vibration takes place.  The basilar membrane can be seen under the inner hair cells, the movement of stereocilia and the resulting modulation of their ionic currents is likely to be greater for outer hair cells than for inner hair cells.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{Protein}

Explanation:

Ribosomes are specialized to carry protein synthesis [Manufacture of protein]. Since, Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum which means that the function of RER is also protein synthesis. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its  rough endoplasmic reticulum, Then the cell will probably carry out the manufacture of protein.

Hope this helped!
