of these large breeders, the population is still reproducing. How do you think cod characteristics have changed due to the selection pressure from over-fishing?
A. Selection has led to increased growth rates.B. Selection has led to decreased growth rates.C. Selection has led to increases in the age of fish at the age of reproductive maturity.D. Selection has led to decreases in the size of fish at the age of reproductive maturity.

Answer:

The correct answer is - option d.

Explanation:

Selective pressure is the process or phenomenon that leads to the change or alteration in the behavior in a specific environment. It is the basis of the natural selection based on genetic variation.

In selection pressure population will decrease and adapt the size of the fish at the age of reproductive maturity, However the offspring in such condition would be less.

Thus, the correct answer is - option D.

Answer:

D. Selection has led to decreases in the size of fish at the age of reproductive maturity.

Explanation:

The larger body size of the fishes is not an adaptive trait as it reduces the survival chances of these fishes. The process of natural selection tends to increase the frequency of the traits that increase the survival fitness of the organisms. Here, the fishes with smaller body size at the reproductive age have greater chances of survival and would reproduce more to leave more progeny. Over the generations, the selection pressure would increase the proportion of fishes that are smaller during reproductive age.

Answer:

red will be the bottom layer

Explanation:

in order to find its density you have to do mass/volume.

Blue: 12/3 = 3  

Clear: 10/5= 2

Red: 15/3= 5

Yellow: 18/9 = 2

The one with the greates valua aka greatest density will be at the bottom layer/

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(D) all of the above

Explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is part of the endoplasmic reticulum, the other one is known as the smoother endoplasmic reticulum.

1. This rough endoplasmic reticulum is considered rough because it has ribosomes bound to it.

2. Also, it is part of the membrane system found throughout the cell's cytoplasm, even though its density is considered to be higher in some places, such as near the nucleus.

3. It is also is connected to the nuclear envelope or membrane

Some of its functions include

1. It produces antibody in certain leukocytes

2. It produces insulin in pancreatic cells

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is Option D "all of the above."
