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"

Which agent of socialization do you think is most important in a person’s life? Why? Do you think that different agents of socia
katrin [286]
1. The most important agent of Socialization is the family because it is the first social contact of the child. The child would interact with their fathers whom we will learn social norms, forms of attachment, norms of conduct, among many other things, so the pressure they exert as agents of socialization is high. The family continues to be an important agent of socialization throughout life but changes shape, as we form our own family with whom we interact constantly.

2. The second answer is yes, the agents of socialization more important in different stages of the life change because when we grow up we need more and different kind of socialization, and we also learn in all these stages the different nuances necessary to develop in sociality.
- In the childhood, the family is the most important agents of socialization.
- In adolescence, peers become the most important agents of socialization.
- During early adulthood, friendships are the main agents of socialization.
- During adulthood the main agents of socialization are the family itself; the children and the couple. In this stage, we interact less socially.

I hope this information can help you.
