In a species of snail, dark-shelled individuals are better hidden from bird predators in the shady forest, while light-shelled i

ndividuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. If there were no areas of intermediate brightness in this habitat, which type of selection would act on shell color in these snails?a. stabilizing selection.b. directional selection.c. disruptive selection.

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators

7. Today you examined species diversity in one relatively simple environment. Suppose you were estimating the number of beetles
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

<em>The more the diversity in a location, the more is the diversity in organisms. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Every area has a specific environment which is favorable for the survival of particular species adapted to live in that environment.

If there is such diversity in North California's environment, we will find that the population of beetles will be abundant in areas which are favorable for the survival of the beetle population. It may happen that with the passage of time, the beetle population might evolve and adapt to live in other areas too. Changes in habitat makes species diversity favorable.

If all cells have the same DNA how do they become different types of cells?​
beks73 [17]
Cells are made of the same DNA but they can have different functions. It depends on where they are in your body; each of them have a separate job. There are different types of cells. Apparently, for a cell to work...1000 proteins must be made.

To further scientific knowledge, what four steps should scientists take after they analyze their results?
stepan [7]

Answer:

A: Draw conclusions about their data.

Explanation:

A important step in the scientific methodology, once the results are analyzed is to draw reasonable conclusions about the whole experiment. For example: if a scientist has studied the effect of salt stress on the growth of plants and he got the results in form of graphs which show that growth of salt treated plants in very less than normal plants. Then he needs to draw conclusion after consulting relevant previous experiments and say that salt stress hinders growth and why? with reasonable logic. This is an important step in the scientific methods which concludes our work and makes it more impact for the upcoming scientists interested to work on problems of similar nature.

Hope it helps!
