In direction direction, one extreme is selected ( individuals with long snouts) resulting in the trait distribution of the population to shifting toward the other extreme. thank me later kids.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is one type of natural selection that occurs when the population having non-extreme traits are stabilized. It results in overexpression of a particular trait in a population. Here most average individual gets selected.

So as the stabilizing selection favors the middle phenotype and not extreme phenotypes it decrease the genetic variation. So here individuals who are having extremely long snout are selected therefore a particular trait is selected and overexpressed in the population. So it is an example of stabilizing selection.

What influences other than humans affect genetic drift in populations?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Every population experiences genetic drift, but small populations feel its effects more strongly. Genetic drift does not take into account an allele's adaptive value to a population, and it may result in loss of a beneficial allele or fixation (rise to 100% frequency) of a harmful allele in a population.

What property of membranes allows interactions to take place within the membrane, including the assembly of membrane protein clu
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is defined as a biological membrane that separates the interiors of a cell from its external environment.

The plasma membrane has a function that protects the cell from its external environment, mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.

It is composed of a lipids bilayer (phospholipids and cholesterol), (phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group) with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules which hence, regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes is very flexible in order to allow cells change form example, red blood cells change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.

It differs from other styles because other types of care are not around the clock, or other types require the agreement with other groups on the case management plan. \</span>
