A balanced polymorphism (maintenance of multiple genotypes) exists through disruptive selection in seedcracker finches from Came

roon in which small- and large-billed birds specialize in cracking soft and hard seeds, respectively. If long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds becoming hard, which type of selection would then begin to operate on bill size in the finch population?
A. directional selection
B. disruptive selection would continue to operate
C. stablilizing selection
D. no selection will operate on bill size following the climate change

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "directional selection".

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection at which traits with extreme characteristics are selected over traits with medium characteristics. In this case,  a long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds that are the fountain of food for finch becoming hard. This will result in a directional selection on bill size in the finch population, where large-billed birds will be selected over small and medium-billed birds.

Highly porous and permeable

Explanation:

Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
  • Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.

In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

What are the life cycles of flatworms and roundworms?
WINSTONCH [101]
Flatworms-In the life cycle of trematode flukes of the subclass Digenea, mollusks (mostly snails) serve as the intermediate host. Fertilized eggs usually hatch in water. The first larval stage, the miracidium, generally is free-swimming and penetrates a freshwater or marine snail, unless it has already been ingested by one.
Roundworms-Roundworms can complete their life cycle in immature dogs, but as the pup's immune system matures (usually by 6 months of age), the larval stages of the roundworm will become arrested and will encyst (become enclosed in a cyst) in the pup's muscles. They can remain encysted in the dog's tissues for months or years.
