The geosphere is all of the rock, land and minerals on Earth, and you can remember this because 'geo' means 'ground. ' The hydrosphere is all of the water on Earth, which makes sense since 'hydro' means 'water. 'Bio' means 'life,' so all of the living organisms on Earth make up the biosphere.

aliina [53]

Answer:

Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation? A. Disruptive selection B. Directional selection C. Stabilizing selection

The Answer is option A (Disruptive selection)

Explanation:

Selection can either shift the mean value of a trait, reduce the trait's variation, or increase its variation.

Genetic variation which allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population is a source of phenotypic variation as it refers to differences in all the hereditary information of members of the same species.

Disruptive Selection is important in maintaining variation and initiating speciation as it Increases Variation by favoring alleles corresponding to more extreme phenotypes. But for it to occur, the mean phenotype has to experience the lowest fitness. Disruptive selection affects the frequency distributions of alleles and genotypes within a population.

Disruptive selection is based on the variance of a trait in a population as it increases genetic variance by equalizing the frequencies of existing alleles at polymorphic loci (a genetic loci with two or more alleles). Disruptive selection maintains and may even increase variation in natural populations by favoring extreme phenotypes, individuals with extreme values for a trait have greater reproductive success than individuals with intermediate values.

You observe a tissue under a microscope. There appears to be a lumen on one side of the tissue. Lining this lumen is a single la
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

So if there are lumen, there are class B skin. Therefore, with our connecting brain, we can infer that it's obvious what projection it makes. One like the monster effect, to us it is disturbed.

To summarize, they are packed tightly, within class B (known as dead-zone skin). In that, we have our shoebox. That shoebox tissue is known as shatire tissue.

An instrument used for the visual examination of the ear is called a(n):
Alina [70]
The correct answer is tympanometer. A tympanometer is not used to measure hearing, but to rather measure the transmission of energy through the middle ear. In this way, tympanometry is an objective test of the function of the middle-ear. Tympanometry is used alongside other measures to asses hearing, such as pure tone audiometry.

Describe three adaptive advantages of the mammalian autonomy
natita [175]
1. Well developped offspring, and portable baby food despencing. Mamalian young are generally quite well developed when they are born, and the parent does not need to find any specific types of food for the new born since the mother already provides te perfect nutrition.

2. Internal heating allows mammals to remain quick and active in cold climates.

3. Fur is really effective and cheap to produce.
