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.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

involuntary; voluntary

Explanation:

Involuntary behaviors in organisms are unlearned behaviors exhibited as a reflex response to a stimuli around their environment. They are usually unconscious behaviors. On the other hand, voluntary behaviors are deliberate behaviors exhibited by an organism consciously. They are actually under the control of the organism, and can be learned.

If Inez blinks her eyes because a gnat flies close to them, that's involuntary. But if she then swats at the gnat, that's voluntary.

elena-s [515]

Answer: Percolation

Explanation: It is the ability of water to sip in into the ground. Percolation is the process wherein the ground absorbs water up to the amount it can hold. When the soil or ground is saturated with water it loses its ability to absorb water and causes it to run off. Unsaturated ground can absorb more water through percolation process.
