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 number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.
