Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection refers to the process of natural selection that decreases genetic diversity. It tends to stabilize the intermediate trait and do not support the extreme phenotypes. In the given graph, the number of penguins having intermediate height has increased in total population. Since intermediate height is favored over other values, it represents stabilizing selection.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em><u>Stabilizing selection</u></em> is the most appropriate

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Stabilizing selection </u></em>is an example of natural selection or among the ways in which natural selection can have an effect in the variation of a population.
  • <em><u>Stabilizing selection</u></em> would result to a decline in the genetic variance of a given population when natural selection tends to favor a certain phenotype against other variations that are extreme.
  • For instance in the case of<em><u> penguins,natural selection may favor those individuals that adapt well in the ocean and are less likely to be noted by predators</u></em>. These are those penguins<em><u> with distinct black and white coloring that blend in with the darkness of the ocean</u></em>, thus they will survive and reproduce and pass these trait to their offspring. On the other hand those penguins without these characteristics may die as a result of predation by their enemies.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Taking into account the principle of osmosis, the question that best addresses experimental design is  <em>How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?</em>

Explanation:

The experimental design of the student, made with dialysis bags and sucrose at different concentrations should recreate the principle of osmosis, of importance in living beings for organic homeostasis.

Osmosis consists of the movement of water - through a semi-permeable membrane - from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentration solution, following a gradient, to achieve balance.  

The student will observe in his experiment that water moves from the solution with less sucrose concentration to the higher concentration of sugar. Beakers with the highest concentration of sucrose will have the highest weight, due to the increase in liquid volume.

How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?

The experiment shows that:

  1. The water from the beaker with less sucrose concentration moved -through the dialysis tubes and the membrane- to the beaker containing the most concentrated sucrose.
  2. Different sucrose concentrations will attract different amounts of water, which influences the final weight of each container.

With this experiment the principle of osmosis is confirmed, where the concentration of a solute determines the amount of water that passes through a semipermeable membrane -following a concentration gradient- until equilibrium is reached.
