Answer: c. directional selection.

Explanation:

Directional selection is considered a force in nature that allows for a specie to evolve towards one end of a trait spectrum. When that happens overtime, the selected traits (shorter wingspan of 4.1mm) will be permanently more than the traits opposed (longer wingspan of 6.5mm).

Answer:Natural selection

Explanation:Natural selection is a concept based on Darwin's theory of evolution, according to this theory organisms who can best adapt to their ever changing environment are likely to survive and pass their strong genetic characters to the next generation. Those organism that finds it hard to adapt get eliminated and their characteristics dies out .

This is the reason we see an increased population of 4.1mm average wingspan mosquitoes whilst initially the population had 6.5 mm average wingspan.

"Small size enables greater chances of survival facing these predators"

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Liquid conservation

Explanation:

Jean Piaget proposed, as part of his cognitive development theory, that around ages 7 to 11, children develop the idea of "conservation"

This concept refers to the thinking ability that allows a person to know that a certain quantity of liquid or mass will remain the same despite being changed of container, shape, or apparent size.

In this example, Rochelle has a glass of Kool-Aid, she pours it into a different container (a teacup) and then into a beer stein and then into the original glass. <u>Younger children would think  that the teacup has less liquid (since it's smaller) and that a significant amount of liquid is lost while doing all this changes from recipient to recipient. </u>

<u />

<u>However, Rochelle knows that this quantity of Kool-Aid remained the same despite being changed of container</u>, thus, this is an example of liquid conservation.
