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).

Draw a chart mapping out all aquatic ecosystems and how they interact amongst one another
sammy [17]
<span>The delineation of an aquatic ecosystem is the process of spatial identification, mapping and recording of the site; description documents the critical components and processes that underpin the ecosystem values of the site, and develops conceptual model(s) and identifies threats. Delineating an aquatic ecosystem often starts with defining the main aquatic elements (core elements). The core elements will often be distinct landforms or features such as a waterhole, a swamp, a lake or a river. Ecotonal areas may be included as part of the core element or may be considered as a separate zone. For example, riparian vegetation is often considered to be an integral part of a river ecosystem, even if only inundated in big flood events. The area around the core elements that has a critical influence on ecosystem function is referred to here as the Ecological Focal Zone. Beyond this, the landscape may be usefully differentiated as a Zone of Influence and a Catchment Zone.</span>

Compare and contrast bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. What are their similarities and differences? g
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline that studies human skeletal remains in an archaeological investigation; while forensic anthropology refers to the study of human skeletal remains in a criminal case  

Explanation:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline centered on the study of skeletal remains in order to obtain useful information about past societies/civilizations such as, for example, health conditions. On the other hand, forensic anthropology investigates human skeletal remains within a legal and/or criminal investigation. This information may result useful to identify a dead person, find the cause of death, and estimate time since death.

Similarities:

-Both disciplines have a strong biology background (especially in zoology)

-Both disciplines are focused on skeletal analysis

Differences:

-Bioarchaeology is associated with the anthropological study of human societies, while forensic anthropology associated with legal investigations
