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.

The correct answer is actually  

B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

Sounds like a trick question.

Maybe not. contamination is easy, but gloves are a barrier between other organic material on yourself (such as what you ate for lunch) and what you are testing.

Other than the fact your DNA will be different than another person’s DNA, if we assume you are theoretically free of debris of any kind, then your DNA would test the same always.

Note: any contamination after purifying extract for a small sequence can give false positives. There are repeat sequences possible that would interfere if you are testing a small enough sequence.

I hope that helps!
