Researchers placed males and females of two fish species together in aquarium tanks. One tank had natural light and the other ha

d a monochromatic orange light. Under normal light, the males of the two species appear quite different. However, under the monochromatic light little difference between the males of the two species can be observed. The researchers recorded the mate choices of the females in each tank. Under normal light the females strongly preferred males of their own species. In monochromatic light, females chose mates indiscriminately. The hybrids that resulted of interspecies reproduction were both viable and fertile. Based on the data, which description of genetic and phenotypic variation in the fish populations is most likely true?

Answer: The phenotypic variation was more in play during the tests because of the presence of environmental factor (monochromatic light). The genotypic variation was a result which is evident in the viable and fertile hybrids

Explanation: Phenotypes are traits of living things which are visible to us. Examples of such traits are behaviours, colour, shape, size, e.t.c. Genotypes is the genetic blueprint of a living thing. It is the genetic code that forms the physical traits in an organism (phenotype). For example, the code that tells a lady to have red hair is the genotype while the resulting red hair in the lady is the phenotype.

Phenotypic variations simply put are different physical variables in phenotypes that exists in a given population. For example, we have people with different body weights, heights, eyecolour, hair and shape of head. Genotypic variation is the difference in genotypes between different species or individuals of the same species.

There are two known causes of phenotypic variations and they are genes or environmental factor. In the given data, the monochromatic (made of one colour) light induced phenotypic variations in the male species and led to indiscriminate mating which resulted in viable and fertile hybrids (genotypic variation).

Answer:

The correct answer is : The opponent process theory

Explanation:

The opponent process theory states that one color of the color pair dominant over the other color and suppresses it. German physiologist Ewald Hering proposed it for the first time in late 18th century.

The opponent process theory of color vision suggests that our ability to perceive color is controlled by three receptor complexes with opposing actions. According to this theory the human eye perceive color is regulated by the 3 antagonist or opposing systems or channels in the eye.

For example, when red color hits the specific region of cones it activates the specific bipolar cells but when the cones stroked by the green color the bipolar cells are inhibited due to the members of different color channel or pair.

Thus, the correct answer is : The opponent process theory

Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s
slava [35]

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>
