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.

What do you notice about the relationship between the force strength and the size of the velocity change
Rudiy27

Velocity change increases as the force increases.

Even though this question is incomplete, but we can approach it from the stand point of Newton's second law of motion.

According to this law, force is directly proportional to change in velocity.

F = m(v - u)/t

F = force applied

m = mass of the body

v = final velocity of the body

u = initial velocity of the body

t = time taken

This means that velocity change increases as force increases.
