Answer:
a. Directional selection favors one end of the phenotype distribution, whereas
stabilizing selection favors intermediate over extreme phenotypes
Explanation:
Directional selection is called directional because it favors one phenotype over another, and stabilizing selection finds a balance between phenotypes.
Answer:
A. Conduct impulses faster.
Explanation:
Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.
Answer:
Secondary consumers.
Explanation:
In a trophic pyramid, there are conventionally four levels. From the bottom they are: Producers, Primary Consumers: Secondary Consumers, and at the top we have tertiary consumers. Each level generally consumes animals in the level below it. Producers consist of plants.
