Answer:

C. But be careful. This question is poorly conceived. Anything could be the answer.

Explanation:

A B and D are all specific to the disciple they are involved in.

That only lets you choose C. You could argue that a physicist or an electrical engineer would not be particularly interested in the death of some elm trees, and I think I would agree with you.

But what other choice to you have?

While the professor is tracking the fresh water fish, how is that benefiting mankind? What is he learning that is universally applicable. I wouldn't choose A.

B is an advance in technology. It might make the dairy farmer's life a whole lot easier, but I don't think it would have very effect on anyone else. Not B.

D: Again this benefits surgeons but again it is technology. I don't think it universally benefits all of humanity except those who are going to be operated on.

So I'll stick with C. People die. So do trees and all vegetation. I'd pick C, but I don't think there is a clear cut answer. Sometimes you get questions that you think the answer resides only in the head of the person writing the question. This is one of them.

Answer:

Current Air Temperature

The current air temperature plotted to the nearest whole degree Fahrenheit.

Dew Point Temperature

The dew point temperature plotted to the nearest whole degree Fahrenheit.

Sky Cover

The total amount of clouds in tenth. Plotted in the station circle according the the following table.

Wind Speed And Direction

The wind direction is plotted as the shaft of an arrow extending from the station circle toward the direction from which the wind is blowing. The wind speed is plotted as feathers and half-feathers representing 10 and 5 knots, on the shaft on the wind direction arrow. See the following table.

Visibility

The visibility plotted in fractions of a mile. For values above 10 miles, the values are omitted from the map.

Sea Level Pressure

The barometric pressure in tenths of millibars reduced to sea level. The initial 9 or 10 and the decimal points are omitted.

ex: plotted = 982, actual = 998.2 mb

ex: plotted = 012, actual = 1001.2 mb

Pressure Tendency

The pressure change in the past 3 hours preceding the observation. Plotted to the nearest tenth of a millibar. The plotted symbol characterizes the change in pressure according to the below chart.

What is the effect of differential reproduction over time?How is the sickle-cell allele maintained through natural selection?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Differential reproduction leads to a change in allele frequencies over time. This occurs because of natural selection favoring "successful" individuals that produce more viable offspring.

The sickle-cell allele is maintained in populations exposed to malaria through balancing selection, since heterozygous individuals have protection against the disease.
