Answer:

directional selection

Explanation:

Selection is of three types -

1. diversifying

2. stabilizing

3. directional

These selections occur in a given environment to either increase, decrease or maintain the genetic variance of the population.

A type of natural selection in which the phenotype of the species of a given population tends to shift away from the mean and towards one extreme phenotype is known as directional selection.

In the given situation, it is given that the extreme phenotype of having thickest leaves is being favored in drier climate and hence, this is an example of directional selection.

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.  

• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.  

• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.

• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.

Imagine that you have just found a new fossil for a yet undiscovered organism what would you want to know about the rock layer i
julia-pushkina [17]
I don't know if this helps or not but you would want to know the age of the rock (absolute dating) and from there you will be able to know the age of the fossil and what caused it to die.

a double blind study is one in which neither the researchers nor the subjects know who is receiving the placebo why are studies
djyliett [7]

The studies are designed this way b/c it removes the power of suggestion and the double-blind study keeps both researchers and participants in the dark. So this compared to who is receiving the treatment which is relevant b/c it stops the researchers from accidentally overbalancing the study participants, or unintentionally favoring their assessment of the conclusions.
