Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.

Why do we have so much dna?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Of the trillions of cells that compose our body, from neurons that relay signals throughout the brain to immune cells that help defend our bodies from constant external assault, almost every one contains the same 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome – the entirety of our genetic material. It is remarkable that each of the over 200 cell types in the body interprets this identical information very differently in order to perform the functions necessary to keep us alive. This demonstrates that we need to look beyond the sequence of DNA itself in order to understand how an organism and its cells function.

"the ________ is the deep groove that separates the brain into two halves."
yKpoI14uk [10]
The biggest part of our brain, the cerebrum is separated into two halves, the left and the right hemisphere by a deep groove that is called the l<span>ongitudinal fissure or</span> cerebral fissure. 
The hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum in order to enable communication between the two of them, as their communication is necessary for various cognitive functions of the brain.
