Answer/Explanation:

a. Directional selection is a form of natural <em>selection</em> that occurs when the conditions of an <em>environment</em> favors individuals of a <em>population</em> with an extreme trait that makes them have a <em>fitness</em> greater than other individuals with traits of lesser fitness that cannot survive and thrive well in the <em>environment</em> like the individuals with extreme traits that has greater <em>fitness</em>. In directional selection, the environmental condition of an <em>environment</em> favors the <em>selection</em> of individuals with a particular extreme trait only as against others with traits of less <em>fitness.</em>

b. Disruptive selection occurs when <em>selection</em> favors individuals of a <em>population</em> with extreme traits that has greater <em>fitness</em> to survive in an <em>environment, </em>while individuals of average traits with less <em>fitness </em>are selected against. <em>Selection</em> favors individuals of extreme values at both end of the spectrum.

c. Stabilizing selection occurs whereby, <em>selection</em> favors individuals of intermediate or average traits that has greater <em>fitness</em> to survive in an <em>environment </em>, while individuals in the <em>population</em> with extreme traits that have less <em>fitness</em> is selected against.

Tony is a typically developing student in preschool. He learned to discriminate between a circle and a triangle in 3 trials. His
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: How many trials might Jay require to perform the same task, would be: at least 30 trials.

Explanation:

Commonly speaking an intellectual disability is diagnosed when an IQ test is administered and the results show a score lower than 70. This means that a person´s perceptual, learning and understanding capacities, as well as cognition, will be less rapid than those with higher IQ scores.

Seeing a figure like a circle and a triangle, diferentiating them, learning their differences and understanding those differences, depends on the mental acuity and the fast processing and integrating centers in the brain. Jay, who has been diagnosed with an intellectual disability, which means his IQ is below 70, will take a lot more trials to differentiate a circle from a triangle, than Tony, because these shapes are particularly complex, and require the engagement of processing centers that will take longer in Jay to engage. Thus, he will need at least 10 times more tries than Tony to learn the difference between the two figures.

A researcher wants to invite therapists to participate in small focus groups to discuss their perceptions regarding "troubled" a
nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, Confidentiality of the individual subject's responses.

Explanation:

When a researcher invites a therapist to participate in a small focus group to discuss the perception about the troubled adolescent girls and the relationships they have with their parents. People usually don't discuss their such private problems in public and don't want to disclose their identity when discussing such problems on forums like focus groups where some therapist is present to listen to their problems. So confidentiality is a crucial concern in this. Instead of watching for the breach of confidentiality from the focus group participants, the researcher must focus on maintaining the confidentiality of the group members.
