Answer:

On the basis of gender preference.

Explanation:

In the modern view of adaptation, the main cause of infanticide is not the food  but the gender preference. In many societies, people killed their infant when they knew that the infant is a girl. They thought that having a girl is curse or shameful thing so they kill the infant. These type of people wants male baby or prefer male child so that's why they kill the infants. In the ancient times, infants were killed that were abnormal or having any defects but today it happen due to gender preference.

What color is an index contouring line usually?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

hope that helps?

Explanation:

A contour line (also isoline, isopleth, or isarithm) of a function of two variables is a curve along which the function has a constant value, so that the curve joins points of equal value. It is a plane section of the three-dimensional graph of the function f(x, y) parallel to the (x, y)-plane. In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.
