Answer:

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which the population mean stabilizes on a particular non-extreme trait value.

directional selection is a mode of natural selection is  an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes.

Disruptive selection describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.

Epistasis is the interaction between genes such that one gene influences or interferes with the expression of another gene, lead
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Pigmented snails: A_B_; albino snails: A_bb, aaB_, aabb

This is an example of recessive epistasis. In recessive epistasis, two recessive alleles mask expression of an allele at a different locus. The 9:7 ratio observed in this question is a special case of epistasis called duplicative recessive epistasis, which means the presence of either aa or bb was sufficient to mask expression of the other gene. In this case, if snails had two copies of either allele a or allele b, pigment production was suppressed, resulting in albino individuals.

Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
podryga [215]
<span>if the oxygen poor blood mixes back with oxygen rich blood, that means that oxygen poor blood is not going back to the lungs to swap CO2 (carbon dioxide) with O2 (oxygen), and this swapping is vital to tissue survival, since oxygen is what keeps your tissues, muscles, and organs alive. so if this blood mixed, ultimately your organs are not receiving enough oxygen and will become starved of it, this can kill you and lots of people every year get heart surgery because their atrium or ventricles in their heart rupture (normally the valves</span>

HELP ASAP!!! :) | its only 3 questions ill give brainliest if your right
Scilla [17]

Answer:

1:(D), 2:(D), 3:(D)

Explanation:

1) When a rock is exposed to heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock. This is correct, because this is the process that forms a metamorphic rock.

2) A rock becomes sediment through weathering and erosion. In this question, they are not asking you to explain the process of sedimentary rock formation, they are asking you how a rock becomes sediment. The process of weathering and erosion breaks down a rock, and turns that rock into smaller peices, which therefore, through the process of compaction and cementation forms a sedimentary rock.

3) A fern is a land plant. It is not found in the sea and there is not enough information given to tell whether or not the area was hot or cold. This leaves us with D. We can tell that this fossil is a land fossil because ferns do not grow in the ocean.

Hope I could help, and best of luck!

Why do different organisms live in different habitats?
jolli1 [7]

Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter from the weather and place to breed its young. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive.
