Answer:

<em>A- </em>Slippery Slope

Explanation:

A slippery slope fallacy is when someone claims, without proper evidence, that an action will lead to an often catastrophic consequence via a series of events.

Here, the statement claims that if semi-automatics are banned, so will handguns and rifles, however, doesn't provide any evidence that this is the case.

Which of the following methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world?
dangina [55]

Decrease resource use methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carrying capacity is the greatest quantity of people of a supplied species that an area's sources can support frequently without significantly spending or diminishing those resources. For communities which increase exponentially, growth begins gradually, starts a fast maturity phase and then straightens off when the carrying capacity for that species has been touched.

The proportion of the population then shifts somewhat above or below the carrying capacity. Reproductive lag time may produce the population to exceed the carrying capacity temporarily. The carrying capacity may be reduced by resource leveling and disgrace during an overshoot period or spread through technological and social changes.

A population of 150 fish have two alleles for the size of a black spot on their sides: large spot alleles and small spot alleles
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1. genetic drift; 2. natural selection; 3. gene flow; 4. natural selection

Explanation:

<u>1. A fish net captures twenty fish, all who happened to have large spots: </u>

The mechanism of evolution that is playing out in this situation is most likely <u>genetic drift.</u> Genetic drift occurs  when a random change occurs, resulting in the selection of a number of individuals by chance, rather than based on their level of fitness. The fish with large spots allele were selected against by chance, not necessarily because the fish with the small spot alleles were better fitted.

<u>2. Small spotted fish escape from predators better:</u>

The situation here is <u>natural selection</u>. The small spotted fish possess a greater fitness as they become well adapted to escaping from predators better than the large spotted fish, which gives confers on them a greater fitness to be selected for against the large spotted fish.

<u>3. 15 large spotted fish move into this population:</u>

The movement or introduction of new individuals i<u> </u>nto a population is what is referred to as <u>gene flow</u> in evolution, which is another mechanism of evolution that changes the allele frequency of the original population.

<u>4. Fish-eating birds catch large spotted fish more easily:</u>

This is another example of natural selection. The small spotted fish possess a greater fitness which makes them not easily preyed upon by Fish-eating bird easily, compared to large spotted fish. <u>Natural selection</u> favors the fish with small spotted alleles against the large spotted fish, and as a result, more small spotted fish would survive and reproduce more offspring with the small spotted alleles compared to those with large spotted alleles.
