Answer:
Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation? A. Disruptive selection B. Directional selection C. Stabilizing selection
The Answer is option A (Disruptive selection)
Explanation:
Selection can either shift the mean value of a trait, reduce the trait's variation, or increase its variation.
Genetic variation which allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population is a source of phenotypic variation as it refers to differences in all the hereditary information of members of the same species.
Disruptive Selection is important in maintaining variation and initiating speciation as it Increases Variation by favoring alleles corresponding to more extreme phenotypes. But for it to occur, the mean phenotype has to experience the lowest fitness. Disruptive selection affects the frequency distributions of alleles and genotypes within a population.
Disruptive selection is based on the variance of a trait in a population as it increases genetic variance by equalizing the frequencies of existing alleles at polymorphic loci (a genetic loci with two or more alleles). Disruptive selection maintains and may even increase variation in natural populations by favoring extreme phenotypes, individuals with extreme values for a trait have greater reproductive success than individuals with intermediate values.
I think BO or B, but BO has more chance.
Answer: alpha
Explanation: Alpha particles are fast moving streams of positively charged particles that are shown to be Helium nuclei. They have a mass
number of 4 and an atomic number of 2 and a charge of +2. Alpha particles are represented as 4He2. When 238U92 becomes 234Th90, it emitted a helium nucleus 4He2. The equation for the decay is 238U92 ---> 234Th90 + 4He2.

Hi, In my opinion, <u>bat</u> will be the most closely related to hawk.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
This is because, when we consider the photo of a bat and a hawk, we notice the similarities like:-
• Wings- They have nearly the same short wings decreasing the area of contact with air and enabling higher flight area.
• Presence of small snouted beak-like structure and presence of less or more similar color.
• Both live in trees and are normally not companiable with humans.
• Hawks and bats are both having a similar anatomy, not body, I meant that they have similar positioning of organs like stomach, pancreas etc.
• They have the sense of locating prey miles away, enabling easier locating of food.
Hope this helps...
