A biologist has been studying two populations of trout in Montana for the last 25 years, when the two populations were establish

ed from one common population. In the southern population, the fish now have a slightly different mouth shape. But the northern population hasn't changed from the original type. The new shape works well in catching the type of prey common in the habitat of the southern population. Which is the best explanation for the gene differences in the two populations?

Answer:

Positive natural selection.

Explanation:

The positive natural selection is a type of natural selection that increases the frequency of an allele or trait when it is advantageous for the population. What happened in the example is that the mouth with the slight change in  morphology (trait)  was more advantageous for the population in the south in relation to the  ancestral morphology  (still preserved in the population in the north), and therefore its frequency increased. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the food (prey) is not the same in the two habitats (north and south).  The specific prey in the south,  caused the new morphology to be selected, (increasing the frequency of individuals with the new mouth),  becasue probably that trait allows the trouts in the south to hunt more effectively.

How can i increase an object’s Kinetic Energy?
Alik [6]

- An object's kinetic energy depends on its mass and its speed.

- The faster something is moving and the heavier it is, the more work it can do.

- Kinetic energy increases as an object moves faster.

- If an objects speed is doubled > kinetic energy is quadrupled.

<em>If an object is not moving, it does not have kinetic energy. </em>

Clear access routes into and out of chemical zones used to avoid contamination are called
sp2606 [1]
Access Control Points

They are restrictions points that enforce regulations and guidelines on decontamination when exiting the sites and ensuring adherence safety standards when entering the site. The regulation are usually, as standard practice, conspicuously posted at the Access Control Points.
Access Control Points are usually set up at the periphery of the Exclusion Zones, and ideally, there should be a separate entrance and exit Control Access Point.
