Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.

Why was introducing foxes ineffective at quelling the rapidly-growingrabbit population
natima [27]

The introduction of foxes in order to control, or even decline, the rapidly growing rabbit population was not effective due to very simple reasons, reproduction rates and available area for living.

The rabbits are reproducing quicker than the foxes, and not just quicker, but in larger numbers with every lither, thus outnumbering the foxes by far, even if each fox manages to kill a rabbit or two each day.

The area available for the rabbits to live and spread out is huge, so they are not limited by a small amount of area where their number will have to stop to grow because of lack of food sources, thus spreading around without any problem, especially because of the lack of competition.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The use of left arm is more compared to right hand

Explanation:

In the given question, the anthropologist when examines the left and right arm he found that the left arm is thicker than the right arm.

The more thickness of the left arm signifies that the person uses his left arm for the muscular work as the more use of hand increases the deposition of the calcium phosphate and sulfate in bones along with other material which increases the thickness for the bones and increases the strength.

Thus, The use of the left arm is more compared to the right hand is correct.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Evolution can be defined as the gradual development of an organism creating diversity.

2. A common misconception is that Homosapiens are descendants of Apes.

3. analogous structures are features of different species that are similar in function, but not necessarily in structure; such as bird wings and insect wings. homologous structures, however, is an organ or bone with similar underlying anatomical features found in different animals; such as the arms of primates.

4. vestigial structures are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor, such as wings of flightless birds.

5. Embryology supports the theory that organisms have a common ancestor in accordance to the theory of evolution.
