Which type of natural selection occurs when an intermediate phenotype is favored?

Biology

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.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<em>Aristotle initially thought that life arose spontaneously and he backed this up by showing that a lump of meat left uncovered in a glass jar spontaneously produced maggots.</em>

The spontaneous generation theory was later disproved by another scientist, Francesco Redi. He showed that a covered jar containing a lump of meat will not spontaneously produce maggots unless flies are allowed to perch and lay their eggs on the meat. The eggs of the flies give rise to the maggots and not the meat.

<u>It thus showed that new life does not arise spontaneously but rather through development and reproduction.</u>

Which layer of Earth has the highest density and temperature?
MrRissso [65]
<span>Because of the difference in materials and the compression of gravity at depth, the inner core is the highest density. The lowest is the crust which is basically floating on the mantle. While no one has drilled that far, the basic assumption from magnetism and pieces of other planets delivered as meteors is that the inner material is iron, nickel and other heavy magnetic elements along with heavy radioactive elements.

The final answer to your question is C. core.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
