Answer:   directional selection

Explanation: Directional selection occurs when one end of the bell curve has a better fit than the other end. The end that has preferable traits in relation to the environment won't always be the same. The environment can change, and then the opposite end of the bell curve might become preferable.

Answer:

  1. directional selection
  2. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
  3. sympatric
  4. This is allopatric speciation.
  5. This is an example of stabilizing selection in a population because the organisms in the middle of the population have the best fitness for their environment.
  6. The five conditions impacting this equilibrium are: mutations, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, migration, and natural selection.
  7. Natural selection impacts single-gene traits because of the possible extinction of one trait or increase of another trait. If a trait is found to be not preferable in that environment, it could be eliminated through natural selection.
  8. The total allele frequency in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has to equal 1.

I need 10 interesting facts about Oviraptor? Please
Norma-Jean [14]
Oviraptor means "egg theif"

Oviraptors could have 20 eggs at a time

They lived in Mongolia

The aren't necessarily true raptors

Oviraptors were about 6 - 8 feet tall

The first oviraptor was found in 1924 (i believe)

Oviraptors lived in the Cretaceous period.

Oviraptors most likely weighed 60 - 70 pounds.

They were renamed, as "ovinutrix"

The first fossil of oviraptors was found with eggs.

Define the 3 major shapes of bacteria
dybincka [34]
<span>CocciThe most common of the 3 shapes of bacteria is cocci, or round bacteria. An example of a bacteria that appears round is Streptococcus. There are several variations of Streptococci, and they are distinguished in part by their arrangement. Some Streptococci exist in pairs, such as Streptococcus pneumonia, which can cause pneumonia. Others are joined in chains. One of the most well-known Streptococci is Group A Beta hemolytic Streptococci. Beta hemolysis appears as a clear area surrounding the colony growing on a blood agar plate. The hemolysis occurs because of a hemolysin the organism emits which breaks down red blood cells. This is useful in distinguishing Group A Beta Strep from other less virulent strains of Streptococci.Another cocci, which can be serious, is Staphylococcus aureus. Staph aureus appears in grape-like clusters under a microscope and has become resistant to many types of antibiotics. A variant of Staph aureus is called methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, which is often found in hospital acquired infections and has mutated due to overuse of antibiotics. It is very difficult to treat methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA).BacilliAnother of the 3 shapes of bacteria is bacilli. These are rod shaped, gram positive organisms. One of the most commonly known bacilli is Bacillus antracis, which is the bacteria that can cause anthrax. Bacillus antracis, as well as other strains of Bacillus, are typically found in soil and are usually not harmful to humans.Lactobacillus is another common gram positive bacilli found in many probiotics. It is helpful for the digestive system, providing what are considered "good" bacteria for healthy digestion. There are a number of varieties of Lactobacilli found in probiotics, such as Kiefer.SpirillumSpirillum are spiral shaped bacteria that stain gram negative. They move with tufts of flagella located at both ends. One of the most common spirillum that affects humans is Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. Most spirilla affect animals; however, there is a variety that can cause rat bite fever in humans.</span>
