Consider the data on cliff swallow mortality. Why is this an example of directional selection?Overall genetic variation decrease

Answer:

The average trait value changed in one direction.(In this case, larger size)

Explanation:

In evolution a natural selection can be disruptive, directional or stabilizing

In stabilizing no extreme trait is favored hence provides intermediate values .

Disruptive selection both extreme traits are favored over the intermediate trait.

Directional, the enviroment will favor the survival of one trait hence a change in direction either towards the left or the right.

In the case of swallow cliff mortality, selection favored the larger size.

What’s the difference between a standing defense and an induced defense?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The correct answer is: 4) Standing defenses are always present; induced defenses develop in response to a threat

Induced defense is defense that can be changed or invoked when needed. Induced defenses are slow to happen. When invoked, induced defense requires energy but otherwise doesn’t.

Standing defense is always there. It is use, for example when predation is a constant threat.

Many factors determine the health of an aquatic ecosystem. Which choice list only abiotic factors?
Rashid [163]
Abiotic factors are the greater part of the non-living things in a biological community. Both biotic and abiotic factors are identified with each other in a biological community, and in the event that one component is changed or expelled, it can influence the whole environment. Abiotic variables are particularly vital on the grounds that they specifically influence how living beings survive.
