In Yellowstone National Park, there are dozens of spectacular thermal pools filled with very hot water that rises from deep unde

rground. In each thermal pool, there is a community of microbes that create the spectacular colors we can see in them. These microbes are very temperature sensitive. Between 1990 and 1997, the temperature in this pool was 89 degrees C. In 1997, a small, cool surface stream changed course and flowed into the pool, lowering the temperature by 7 degrees C. This significantly lowered the allele frequency of the heat tolerant allele. After 2 years, the stream changed course again and the temperature in the pool returned to its original 89 degrees, returning the allele frequency of the heat tolerant allele to its pre-1990 level.

Answer:

Directional Selection

Explanation:

The type of natural selection that favors one of the extreme phenotypes over the intermediate and another extreme phenotype is called directional selection. Here, the extreme phenotype exhibits better survival and reproductive fitness over the other phenotypic ranges.  

In the given example, the frequency of the heat-tolerant allele in microbes is shown to increase under the conditions of higher temperatures of the water of the springs in which they live.  

When the temperature of spring water is increased, the frequency of the heat-tolerant allele is reduced and is increased again upon an increase in water temperature.

Since the natural selection favors the extreme phenotype (microbes with heat tolerance) when the spring water exhibits higher temperatures, it is directional selection.

Describe what will happen to the wave as it goes through the hole. what do we call this?​
kari74 [83]

Diffraction occurs when a wave moves through an opening in a barrier. This causes the wave to change direction and spread out.

Waves can behave in three different ways depending on the obstacles they encounter. They can reflect, refract or diffract. In diffraction, waves such as sound, light or water either bend around small objects that obstruct their passage or spread out as they travel through a gap in the barrier.

The degree of diffraction forms a direct relationship with wavelength. It generally increases as wavelength increases. Conversely, the amount of bending lessens as wavelength decreases. However, if the opening of the barrier is smaller than the wavelength, the effect of diffraction is not easily observed. Hope this helps.

Which is an accurate description of the northern hemisphere at the time of the summer solstice?
Alexus [3.1K]
<span>The appropriate answer is A. the hemisphere is is tilted toward the sun and the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This usually occurs on June 20 or 21. At this time the northern hemisphere experiences its longest day. Summer in the nothern hemisphere means that the earth is tilted towards the sun and receives sun rays that are more direct. </span>
