Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
To have a definite shape and volume
Answer:
B. So you can always see the entire object at the higher magnification
Explanation:
A microscope is used to view objects smaller than the naked or unaided eyes can see. The objective lens, in conjunction with the occular or eye lens, is used to achieve this purpose. The objective lens are of different magnifications as follows: 10X, 40X, 100X etc.
However, as the magnification increases i.e. higher objective, the object in the field of view becomes smaller and less focused. Hence, the object in the field of view must first be centered at a lower magnification/objective lens before changing to a higher one in order for the entire object to be seen at a higher magnification.
Answer:Amphibians evolved during the middle of the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) from the lobe-finned fish of the vertebrate class Sarcopterygii. Species within the genus Ichthyostega (members of the Labyrinthodontia subclass) are considered by some scientists to be the earliest amphibians.
Explanation:
Answer:
Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.
Explanation:
As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.
- Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
- The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.
