The correct answer is iron, because it is often not included in children's multivitamin/mineral supplements. Iron is an important element for our health. It is especially important for the proper functioning of our red blood cells and it is found in many foods. Although iron is essential, too much can lead to iron toxicity. Iron poisoning was the leading cause of death from the medicine overdose in children younger than 6 years until the ends of the 1990s. But the trend has since changed due to better warning labels, education of prescribers, changes in iron preparations, and consumer awareness.

3. Does your skate park playground ramp design support the law of conservation of energy? Use
nlexa [21]

Skate park is a good example that maintains the law of conservation as skater neither creates nor destroys energy.

Explanation:

As per the law of energy conservation, energy cannot be created nor can be destroyed but it’s form can definitely be changed. This theory can be well justified by the example of skate park playground. According to the rules of this law a skater can never go high more than 2 meters on the ramp’s other side because it has that gravitational energy potential.  

With every drop of the skater on the ramp the potential energy of the skater changes into kinetic energy. This two sides of the law justifies the fact that skate playground should be designed in such a way that it supports the law of conservation of energy.

aliina [53]

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.
