Mercury because it is way too hot to have an atmosphere.
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
The Answer Would Be #2 Polyp
According to this principal, if a recessive gene for tallness is paired with another recessive gene for tallness, the organism is categorized as a homozygous recessive in terms of its genotype.
Rarefaction in terms of ecology can be defined as a technique used to assess species richness from the results of sampling.
It allows the calculation of richness of a particular species for a given number of individual samples, and these are based on the construction of rarefaction curves.
Hence, the correct answer is: option A-Creating a representative sample
