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! :)

If the environment outside a cell is hypertonic, how will the cell maintain homeostasis?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:  Water will move outside of the cell.

Homeostasis is the ability of the cell to maintain the state of balance despite of changing external environmental conditions. Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure of water across the cell membrane. Tonicity is the measurement of this pressure. If the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane is equal then water will not move across the membrane. Osmotic pressure maintains the homeostasis of the cell. In hypertonicity osmotic pressure of the solution outside the cell is higher than the inside the cell. The water inside the cell will exit the cells in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides, causing the cells to shrink.
