After a copper smelter begins operation, local downwind populations of plants begin to adapt to the resulting air pollution. Sci

Answer: Directional selection

Explanation:

In the population genetics, directional selection is the mode of selection during which the extreme phenotype are favored more than the other phenotype.

This causes the allele frequency to shift towards the time in the direction of that particular phenotype.

Here, in the question the acid tolerant plant species is favored over the other phenotype.

Hence, the correct answer is option D

Allen has been studying the genetic material of dogs, to get more insight
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and they are the molecules responsible for containing the genetic material of all living beings. Thus, DNA and RNA are the molecules responsible for establishing the variability and different characteristics between dog breeds, through the genetic information that each of them houses.

In this case, among the options given in the question above, we can confirm that if Allen has studied the genetic material of dogs to better understand why there are so many different breeds, he must have studied nucleic acids.

Which is allopatric and which is sympatric
Helen [10]

Answer: The correct answer is-

Allopatric-  option 2.

Sympatric - option 1.

Allopatric and sympatric are primarily the two major mechanisms for  speciation ( formation of new species from an ancestral species).

In allopatric speciation, a population splits into two different species when it is isolated by physical or geographical barrier.

On the other hand, sympatric speciation occurs wihtin the same area. A population splits into two species that is becomes reproductively isolated when a change in the chromosome number occurs.

Thus, option first corresponds to sympatric whereas option second shows allopatric speciaton.
