Answer: Directional Selection.

Explanation:

This process can be defined as the positive selection in which one phenotype is selected over the other phenotype, causing the allele frequency to shift towards the other phenotype.

The allele favored by directional selection is advantageous. There is a increase in the rate of reproduction and chances of survival.

Here, the population of rabbits are decreasing in size over a period of time because they adapted the burrows to live in. Gradually small size of the rabbits were favored.

This is an example of directional selection.

Write one similarity and one difference between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
sergij07 [2.7K]
A similarity would be that they are both muscles. A difference would be cardiac muscle is only in the heart while skeletal muscle can be found throughout the body. Another similarity would be that they are both striated. Another difference would be that skeletal muscle is generally on conscious or voluntary control while the cardiac muscle is automatically used to keep your heart pumping

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
