If two whales of maximum length mated, the selection in this case would be natural selection?

Hello!

Yes, the selection in this case would be natural selection because whales of maximum length are mating naturally on their own choice. We are not maintaining and experimenting on them for the analysis that what will be the size of their offspring, if we do that, that is artificial selection.

Why it is natural selection?

Natural selection is the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce. In doing so, they pass on these traits to the next generation. Over time this process allows organisms to adapt to their environment.

Here both whales are of good size (favorable trait) and have definitely better chances of mating and producing fertile generation.

Hope it helps! :)

—Evidence—

A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.

The loose skin of the ___________ allows for expansion during erection. corona penile glans penile shaft foreskin
DENIUS [597]
<span>Penile shaft

</span>During erection, blood<span> flows into the spaces, causing distention and elevation of the penis. The amount of blood entering the penis can be increased by physical or psychological stimulation. As blood enters, there is a temporary reduction in the rate and volume of blood leaving the penis. The arteries carrying blood to the penis dilate; this, in turn, causes tissue expansion. The veins leading from the penis have funnel-shaped valves that reduce the outflow of blood. As the erectile tissue begins to enlarge, the additional pressure causes the veins to be squeezed against the surrounding fibrous tissue, and this further diminishes the outflow of blood. Essentially, blood becomes temporarily trapped in the organ.</span>

In many plants, stomata are found only on the lower surface of the leaf. The most likely explanation for this fact is that
sergejj [24]
D. Plants have adapted to deal with the sun in many different ways, and this is one. The stomata are regulated by guard cells, which are activated by different things depending on the species of plant, and guard cells are supposed to keep the stomata from staying open all the time and losing too much water to evaporation. So, the solution is to have the stomata on the bottom of the leaf to prevent direct sunlight contact (and therefore more evaporation), and guard cells to protect the stomata.
