Ans. (C). stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection is defined as a variant of natural selection that stabilizes a particular trait in a population on an average trait value (non-extreme trait value). It favors individuals with intermediate variants, instead of individuals having extreme traits.

The females, which lay 4-5 eggs in each clutch, are showing an average or intermediate trait, while the females, which produce fewer or more eggs than this are showing extreme traits. Hence, individuals with extreme traits will show reduced fitness due to stabilizing selection.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Anni [7]
Because gametes (sex cells) are the only cells that pass along genetic information. Somatic cells are the cells that have already differentiated into various organs or tissues. They can't pass on a mutation to offspring because they're not involved in creating it.

KIM [24]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) cerebral cortex.

B) basal nuclei.

C) sensory pathways.

D) motor pathways.

E) All of the answers are correct.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex processes and filters its information before passing the most relevant aspects to other regions of the brain. Some of these brain regions, in turn, send information back to the cortex. These loops, known as 'feedback systems', are considered essential for the functioning of cortical networks and their adaptation to new sensory information. Neural circuits must first assess the importance of incoming sensory information and then refine how it is processed in the future. Positive feedback, triggered with the purpose of amplifying the response to the initial stimulus, can be compared to a chain reaction or a vicious circle. Few are the functions regulated by this mechanism; rather it is triggered in pathological situations. It is the system by means of which the organism very rarely regulates any of the bodily functions under normal conditions, making the initial stimulus to be maintained and even increased. This type of mechanism is predominantly present in pathological situations: Its constitutive elements are: stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector and response. The response does not have the ability to satisfy the initial stimulus.
