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.

After having the chicken pox vaccine, Marta went to a party where someone had the chicken pox virus. Which best describes why Ma
trasher [3.6K]
B. is the correct answer. It makes sense too because vaccines are usually inserted in a vein, which is where the bloodstream is. With all of this medicine in your body, the virus will come into the body, the body will recognize what the virus is, sending out the antibodies from the vaccine into the bloodstream and all around, then the virus is dead. :)

What are the different methods that marine animals use to obtain food
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Marine mammals use sound in a variety of ways while feeding. One well-known example is echolocation, in which animals produce short pulses of sounds that are reflected back when they strike an object.

Deposit feeders pass sand, mud, water or sediment into their mouths

Suspension feeders catch food or organic material from the water using tentacles or spiny arms

Filter feeders; capture food that is suspended in the water by creating a current within them for the water to flow through.

Predators actively seek out their prey items. In the ocean, some predators can be adapted to blend in with the surrounding area and wait for a prey item to pass by or they can be adapted to move quickly to chase down prey.
