A finch population eats seeds that vary in size. There is variation in preference of seed type, and that variation positively co

rrelates with beak size. Currently, stabilizing selection is operating on beak size with little or no directional selection. Suppose more large seeds were to become available. What is a likely result?

Answer:

If larger seed became available, directional selection will act in favor of bigger beak finch.

Explanation:

In the case that more large seeds were to become available, then directional selection will start to influence in the beak size, favoring those individuals with bigger beaks. Those individuals with shorter beaks will start to disappear as these animals won't be able to eat the larger seed.

Directional selection <em>increases the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait,</em> in this case, large beaks.

This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which <em>interactions between living organisms and the environment</em> modify in the same direction.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

By phylogenetic analyses  

Explanation:

The target of rapamycin (TOR) is a major regulator of growth only found in eukaryotic organisms. The TOR pathway is known to regulate critical cellular processes including, among others, cell growth. The TOR protein is a kinase capable of activating translation by phosphorylation of the ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K) and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein (4E-BP). In this regard, phylogenetic studies have shown that this pathway involves duplication events of ancestral kinases, as well as sub-functionalization of the S6K kinase.

You walk past pizza hut and salivate in response to the aroma of freshly baked pizzas. what is this the result of?
madam [21]
This is a result of classical conditioning in humans. Classical conditioning pairs two stimuli in eliciting a response; one stimulus is a normal stimulus (unconditioned stimulus) and another is a learned stimulus (conditioned stimulus). 

In this case, humans normally salivate in response to eating; perhaps pizza from Pizza Hut from example. Food aromas and restaurant symbols do not normally elicit the response alone; but since the restaurant symbol and food aroma is paired with eating a pizza (which normally elicits the response), then the human will elicit the response in just seeing the logo of Pizza Hut and the smell of pizzas, without actually eating.

Answer:

B. 37 Degrees  

Explanation:

Warm-bloodedness, also called Homoiothermy, in animals, the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature (about 37° C [99° F] for mammals, about 40° C [104° F] for birds), regardless of the environmental temperature.

How do animals with radial symmetry get information
ioda

Answer:

The radial symmetry animals get information through their receptor cells and neurons present all over their body.

Explanation:

Radial symmetry animals can be cut in different directions. The central axis separates it into 2 equal halves and again it can be cut into 4 directions.

e.g. Hydra, sea urchin, starfish, etc

They are invertebrates have sense organs, but these sense organs are not well defined. Each symmetry of the body has sense organs. These radial symmetry organisms have oral and aboral parts.

Sea urchins, starfishes, Hydra are light sensitive. They possess photoreceptor cells in their epithelial linings. Starfishes also sensitive to touch, light, and temperature. Their spines and tube feet have motor nerves, which control their movement.

Eyespots in starfishes also help in detecting objects. It is composed of epithelial cells and responds to light. They lack a brain but have a complex nervous system. This nervous system consists of a sensory nerve and motor nerve. It spreads all over the body. Hence starfishes can react according to the stimuli.
