Korolek [52]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Sexual selection is a type of special natural selection. It affects the ability to get or breed with a mate and it could be by any means. It changes phenotypically in the different sexes of the same species for example peacock.

It is might be sometime harmful to the species too. Females produce eggs or a number of pregnancy and it affects the reproductive success where is in males it is determined by the mating numbers.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Alinara [238K]

Complete question:

1. The graph below depicts the frequency of expression of the coloration of beetles on an island:

Graph is the 1st Pic --> Attached files    

Birds are the main predators of these beetles; they hunt the beetles by sight and pick them up off of the tree bark where they feed. A logging company clears the trees off of the island and plants younger trees as a replacement. Trees with light bark are planted on one side of the island and trees with dark bark are planted on the other side of the island. What do you predict would happen to the range of coloration in the populations of beetles on each side of the island?

Select TWO answers, one to represent the beetles living on the light colored trees and one to represent the beetles living on the dark colored trees. (2 points)

A. graph 2 below

B. graph 3 below

C. graph 4 below

D. graph 5 below

Answer:

B. graph 3 below

D. graph 5 below

Explanation:

The original population of beetles (Graph 1) shows that most individuals had an intermediate phenotype between dark and light color. The graph expresses its highest point in the middle of the phenotypic ax, while the curve´s tails coincide with light and dark colors.

Probably, most of the trees inhabiting the whole island had some darkish color tone, which beetles used to camouflage and avoid predation.

When the company cleared the area and reforested, they planted light trees on one half and dark trees on the other half of the island. This change in the environment modeled the beetled phenotype, together with predation pressure.

<em>If we consider the whole original population, we should say that it went under a disruptive selection.</em> But if we think about the sides of the island separately, we could say that the population living on each side went under directional selection. We are not thinking about the whole population of beetled inhabiting the whole island, but two groups inhabiting each side of the island.

  • Graph 3 represents the beetles inhabiting the part of the land with dark trees. The population went under directional selection, and most of them turned into dark-colored to camouflage with the substrate in which they live.
  • Graph 5 represents the beetles inhabiting the other part of the land with light trees. The population went under directional selection, and most of them became light-colored to camouflage with the substrate in which they live.

Mr. Malone is going into a shock because of blood loss, so paramedics infuse a saline solution. Why would this help?
fredd [130]
Saline solutions have the same or close to the same amount of salt as our blood does, so we get the amount of salt needed for our bodies. During blood loss, you lose the salt you need, so they're basically adding it back in with the saline solution, making your electrolyte balance go back to normal level. It also gives us the right amount of water to keep us hydrated.

abruzzese [7]

All the nerve processes radiating out beyond the brain and spinal cord, as well as all the neurons outside the brain and spinal cord, constitute the peripheral nervous system.

Spinal cord is the backbone present in the vertebrates. It is essential for the correct posture and erect body. It extends from the end of the brain till the hipbone. The spinal cord consists of total 5 types of bones called vertebrae, that are total 33 in number.

Peripheral nervous system consists of parts of nervous system outside the brain and the spinal cord. It involves cranial and spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions.
