Answer:

d. directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a form of natural selection that occurs when a particular extreme phenotype of a species is highly favored and thrives more than the other extreme phenotype. This is particularly influenced by environmental changes resulting in differences in the survival between both extreme phenotypes.

In the Galapagos Islands during drought, the seeds to be fed on by finches are mostly large in size, giving rise to the survival of only finches with large beak size of 9 mm to 10 mm as against finches with small beak size. Finches with large beak sizes are favored over  finches with phenotypic traits of small beak sizes.

Answer:

1) you're going to have to flip the coins (or fake numbers) for the experimental trials.

2) for the theoretical, there is 1/2 chance for heads or tails with each toss, so you'd expect that out of 10 tosses, 5 heads, 5 tails. out of 100 tosses- 50 heads, 50 tails.

When tossing 2 coins- 1/2×1/2 = 1/4 (25%) chance that 2 heads, 2 tails, or 1 heads & 1 tails. Deviation value comes from after you done your flipping and recorded your data. So if on 100 flips you actually got 50 and 50 (rarely us that exact ;), the deviation from the expected of 50/50 would be 0.00. If however you flipped 100 heads or 100 tails (impossible), then the deviation value would be 1.00.

|(100-50)| ÷ 50 = 50÷50 = 1.00

So usually you may have data like: 47/53 or something a little off than 50/50, making deviation |(47-50)| ÷ 50 = 3÷50 = 0.06.

Now the number of flips is important for the outcome! So if a coin toss if 10 times had 4 heads, 6 tails, the deviation value would be:

|(4-5)| ÷ 5 = 1÷5 = 0.20

So increasing the # flips DECREASES the deviation value!!

Whether it's from 10 to 100, or from 100 to 200. Look at my example of how the 10-flip deviation of 0.20 decreased to 0.06 with 100-flip

Explain the systems and structures and how they are used by the plant to maintain homeostasis.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The given image shows - the Stomata that helps in maintaining homeostasis in the plants.

Explanation:

Stomata are the small structure resemble as tiny or pinholes that found on the underside of the leaves and play many roles in the plant. Stomata help in the gas exchange and also helps in transpiration.  It allows oxygen a gas and water in vapor form from the leaves to the outer environment and let carbon dioxide inside the cell.

This system also helps in transpiration by closing and opening stomata with the help of their guard cell by becoming turgid and flaccid by osmotic pressure.
