The correct answer is stabilising selection. This is selection that favours an average trait value. It is thought that this sort of selection is very common as traits among most animals do not appear to change drastically over time. Stabilising selection selects against the extreme traits, and leads to a decrease in genetic diversity by favouring the average phenotypes.
<h3><u>Comparison between Galapagos penguin and cold adapted Emperor penguin of Antarctica:</u></h3>
<u>Galapagos penguin:</u>
- Galapagos penguins are the only species of penguins that live north of the Equator.
- The Galapagos penguins breed all-round the year.
- The Galapagos penguins are smaller compared to the cold-adapted emperor penguins of Antarctica.
- The breeding and nesting place of the Galapagos penguins lie on the shoreline.
<u>Emperor penguin:</u>
- The emperor penguins live and adapt to the cold Antarctic environment.
- The Emperor penguins breed only during the Antarctic winters.
- The nesting of emperor penguins is on ice cliffs and icebergs where the eggs are protected from the strong and cold Antarctic winds.
- However, both of these species of penguins are at risk of extinction due to the rise in temperature and shortage of foods.
D) the cytoplasm hope this is right
<span>Open-mindedness does interfere with scientific progress as it can lead to acceptance of untested ideas. Open-mindedness can lead to actually accepting results that are not true. This is not a great angle for people involved with scientific experiments. Open-mindedness should be limited to the fact that the results can lead to negative answers. People that can accept this theory will ultimately succeed in their strive for creating something new. There is nothing wrong in discarding the results that does not seem to fit the bill.
