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

d.Selection did not occur, because no reproduction occurred (just survival).Individuals with intermediate phenotypes survived best.The average trait value changed in one direction (in this case, larger size).

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.

Hunter-Best [27]
Eukarya. Eukaryotes are the only organisms that have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, though some bacteria have a pseudo-nuclei.
The reason why only eukaryotes have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is because only eukaryotes have figured out how to create so much energy through the mitochondria, which is required for high compartmentalization.

Why is a system’s work output limited?
netineya [11]
<span>The correct answer is Energy is lost as heat in each stage, causing the amount of energy available to decrease with each stage. This means that eventually energy is bound to run out. Simplest example is a car for example, as long as it works there's less and less fuel, and eventually the energy runs out, or in this case the fuel.</span>
