Answer:
1. Stabilizing Selection
2. Directional Selection
3. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Stabilizing Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:
Example: For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.
Directional Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:
Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.
Disruptive Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:
Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
Answer:
- Protein sequence: Met-Pro-Gly-Lys-Ile-Arg-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Thr-Pro-Leu-Phe-Gly-Lys-*
- DNA 5' UTR: ATTTTAGCC
- RNA 3' UTR: UAAAAAUAAAAU
Explanation:
Transcription is the process in which a DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) is used as template (transcribed) in order to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA molecule, which is then used as template to produce a polypeptide sequence (protein) in the ribosomes. In RNA, Thymine (T) bases are always replaced by Uracil (U) bases. An mRNA strand is formed in the 5′ to 3′ direction. Each triplet of nucleotides is referred to as a codon and the resulting mRNA strand is translated starting from codon AUG (Methionine), while there are three different stop codons or 'or termination codons' in the genetic code that terminate translation: UAG, UAA, and UGA.
For the answer to the question above, this plant is more likely a kind of "liverwort plant"
they are flowerless and they are spore-producing plants and non-vascular. There are estimated of 9,000 species of this kind of plant.

Answer:
Floodplains are identified as zones on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Flood zones are defined by type, depth, and frequency of flooding. But the shape and nature of a floodplain may also change over time as the main channel of a river naturally migrates through erosion and accretion, impacting how and where excess water may first over top the banks of the river during a flood event. Geologically ancient floodplains are often represented in the landscape by fluvial terraces. These are old floodplains that remain relatively high above the present floodplain and indicate former courses of a stream. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU :)
Explanation:
One example can be the needle shaped leaves.
In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.
Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.
