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.

Based on the assumptions described in the introduction why might the mark and recapture method of population estimation be more
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

In ecology, the mark and recapture method is utilized to predict the population size of the animals. In the method, the part of the population is caught, marked, and then discharged. Afterward another part is caught, and the number of marked organisms within the sample is measured.  

The mark and recapture method of predicting the population is more precise in the setting of lakes as a lake is a fairly steady environment, while the streams and rivers are in motion, and thus the population is much more dynamic.
