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.

What quantity is equal between two solutions that are isotonic ?
bazaltina [42]

An isotonic solution is a solution in which the amount of dissolved material is equal both inside and outside of the cell. Water still flows in both directions, but an equal amount enters and leaves the cell.  Hope this helps. :)

Name and describe all of the weather fronts.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

four different types of weather fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts.

a air front is a weather system that is the boundary separating two different types of air. One type of air is usually denser than the other, with different temperatures and different levels of humidity.

A cold weather front is defined as the changeover region where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass. Cold weather fronts usually move from northwest to southeast. ... Warm fronts usually move from southwest to northeast and the air behind a warm front is warmer and moister than the air ahead of it.

Stationary Front - a front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all.

Occluded Front - a composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm
