List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

what are osmosis..in 50 words ​

Answers

osmosis:

Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane.

Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.

Let us have a detailed look at the different types and effects of osmosis in detail.

Osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances—i.e., solutes). The process, important in biology, was first thoroughly studied in 1877 by a German plant physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer. Earlier workers had made less accurate studies of leaky membranes (e.g., animal bladders) and the passage through them in opposite directions of water and escaping substances.

Mrs. Jones took care of the boy's hunger.
The boy asked for the money to buy shoes.
Mrs. Jones taught the boy to have manners.
The answer is the boy asked for money

Answers

Answer:

The characters learned to respect each other enough to discuss why the boy tried to grab the purse.

Explanation:

In the short story "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes, a young, hungry boy was about to rob a woman of her purse. But as circumstances would turn out, he was unsuccessful in that attempt but then learned a valuable lesson from the very woman he had targeted.

One conflict that was resolved in the resolution was that both of the characters, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones and Roger, learned to respect one another. By her act of inviting him to her home and preparing food for him, Roger also came to respect and trust the woman. It was this faith that helped them discuss the events that led to Roger's failed attempt of robbing Mrs. Jones, and Roger left the house with a sense of appreciation and a change of heart.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Nuestro planeta esta habitada por numerosas ____, muchas de ellas extendidas en grandes y diversas zonas. Sin embargo, existen especies que habitan una sola ____ con características ____ únicas para su desarrollo.

Answers

Answer:

Nuestro planeta esta habitada por numerosas especies, muchas de ellas extendidas en grandes y diversas zonas. Sin embargo, existen especies que habitan una sola área/región con características ambientales únicas para su desarrollo.

Explanation:  

Entre las miles de especies que habitan el planeta, muchas de ellas pueden estar ampliamente distribuidas, mostrando adaptaciones a una gran variedad de ambientes y hábitats, mientras que muchas otras solo se encuentran restringidas a determinadas areas o regiones particulares que presentan condiciones ambientales determinadas. Esta diferencia en distribución esta muy relacionada a la historia de la especie,  a la edad de la misma sobre la tierra, adaptaciones a los ambientes y capacidades reproductivas y de dispersión.

Dentro de la clasificación de especies de acuerdo a su distribución, podemos mencionar a las especies

nativas: aquellas que habitan y se distribuyen las áreas naturales donde se originaron,endemicas: entran dentro del concepto de nativas, pero a parte se caracterizan por habitar unicamente una región en particular debido a las condiciones ambientales que les son propicias para su desarrollo. Estas especies no pueden trasladarse a otras regiones.exoticas: aquellas especies que salen de su area natural de distribución para habitar otras areas mas lejanas. Allí pueden establecerse e interactuar con especies nativas sin causar grandes daños.invasoras: especies exoticas que llegan a otras areas, que se establecen y que tienen la capacidad de reproducirse a una tasa superior a la de las especies nativas, invadiendolas y desplazandolas. Interactuan con las especies nativas y causan daños importantes.

Los términos nativos, endemicos, exóticos son relativos al área a la que se esté haciendo alusión: un continente, un país, una región o un bioma.
