A biologist has been studying two populations of trout in Montana for the last 25 years, when the two populations were establish
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Positive natural selection.

Explanation:

The positive natural selection is a type of natural selection that increases the frequency of an allele or trait when it is advantageous for the population. What happened in the example is that the mouth with the slight change in  morphology (trait)  was more advantageous for the population in the south in relation to the  ancestral morphology  (still preserved in the population in the north), and therefore its frequency increased. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the food (prey) is not the same in the two habitats (north and south).  The specific prey in the south,  caused the new morphology to be selected, (increasing the frequency of individuals with the new mouth),  becasue probably that trait allows the trouts in the south to hunt more effectively.

<em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> and <em>Diplococcus pneumoniae</em> are the organisms that gram positive bacteria. These bacteria enters the respiratory system from droplet method propagation which is through aerosol or water droplet inhalation which are infected with these bacteria. These bacteria leads to the severe antigen antibody reaction inside lungs which leads to high rate of mucous secretion. This leads to formation of pneumonia.

These bacteria are mainly seen in tropical countries with warm climate and humid environment. These bacteria doesn't spread through contagious methods like touching.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

soil and vegetative matter screening for soil structure integrity and invasive pathogens

Explanation:

Repeated use of fertilizer causes the soil to break down and lose it nutrient capacity. This in turn will affect the integrity of the plants, now in a nutrient deficit environment. In addition to this, soil micro-biome environment may also be compromised once soil structure and nutrient is lost. Some of the bacteria, fungi and protozoan in the soil plays a role in defense against invasive pathogens. When this is lost the possibility for infection and increased risk of unknown pest and disease is imminent.
