Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Orchid is a flowering plant which forms the mycorrhizal associations with the fungi.

The association is formed between Basidiomycota phylum of fungi especially <em>Rhizoctonia </em>species with the seeds and roots of orchids.

After the seeds are released and land on suitable substratum, they are colonized by the fungi. Associated fungi supply nutrients and energy to the orchid plant seeds and during developmental stages as seeds can degrade and digest the hyphae of the fungi while fungi receive sugar from the plants once they become established.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Human birth weights range very narrowly between 5.5 and 8.5 pounds. Babies much smaller than 5.5 lbs. suffer a higher mortality
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a.  Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Babies lower than 5.5lbs would suffer from various disorder because of low birth weight as their body would not be able to compete as well they would have weak immune system and malnourishment. Whereas high birth weight carry the equally above risk as their body wont be able to cope up and organs become insensitive to various hormones. for the survival the birth weight should be within a median range so that it would be favorable for themselves and surroundings.

Stabilizing selection occurs when a population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases. As in this example, an average baby weight has to favour against extreme variation for it's better survival.

therefore, this is an example of stabilizing selection.
