The controversy over the ivory-billed woodpecker has pitted those who want to build a massive irrigation project against environ

mentalists who want to stop the project to protect the woodpecker and other species. A biocentric species egalitarian would probably insist that the a. project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals. b. project be completed to maximize the welfare of humans. c. project be completed but with rigid safeguards to protect all sentient beings. d. project be curtailed (but not stopped) to promote the interests of humans and the ivory-billed woodpecker only.

ANSWER:

(A) project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals.

EXPLANATION:

Option A (project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals) is most appropriate for a biocentric species egalitarian, because it provides equal rights and support for all forms of life without being baised on favoring sentient animals (animals who can feel and can be emotional).

NOTE: Species egalitarianism is the philosophic view that all living things have the same moral right and support and all forms of life have intrinsic value.

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