Babies with very low or very high birth weight are less likely to survive. The graph shows the percentage of babies born at diff

erent weights. A graph entitled Percentage of Babies born at Different Weights has weight in pounds on the horizontal axis, and percentage on the vertical axis. A small percentage of babies are born at the low and higher birth weights, and a greater amount are around 7 to 8 pounds. Which statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph? Directional selection is occurring because the graph favors an extreme. Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored. Disruptive selection is occurring because the two extremes are favored. Biodiversity variation is occurring because there is an increase in trait variation.

Answer:

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

Explanation:

There are different types of natural selection: sexual selection, stabilizing selection, directional selection, frequency-dependent selection, and disruptive selection.  

Balancing selection, also called Stabilizing selection, eliminates individual with extreme traits and favors individual that exhibit medium-range characteristics, that gets to survive.

In the exposed example, babies with very low or very high birth weight have fewer possibilities to survive. Stabilizing selection eliminates individuals with extreme weight and favors individuals that exhibit medium weight, which are the ones that get to survive.

The membranes of both b cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how
iragen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell .</h2>

Explanation:

Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer . Cell membrane is hydrophilic at the surface of outside of the cell and inside surface of the cell thus both surface of cell membrane is a hydrophilic . Interiorly cell membrane is hydrophobic or nonpolar region because membrane composed of long fatty acid chain interiorly . Inner surface of cell membrane have no contact with water or polar molecules . When membrane binds to each other then the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell , while nonpolar parts of cell avoid water and create bilayer phospholipid where hydrophobic tails are in between the hydrophilic heads .

What is your hypothesis regarding difference in urine "chloride" concentration between subjects who drank water and subjects who
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Chloride concentration in urine is more who drank sport drink as compared to a person who drank normal water.

Explanation:

Chloride concentration in urine is high who drank sport drink as compared to a person who drank water because in sport drink there is more concentration of salts are present which is required our body. Due to more salts present in the sport drink, more chloride is present in urine due to the removal from the body while normal water has less amount of salts so urine has less concentration of chloride in urine.

Streptomycin is extracted from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter-current staged extraction unit. The
amid [387]

Answer:

6.75l l/min

Explanation:

Streptomycin is extracted  from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter current staged extraction unit.

for 5 stage counter current staged extraction unit for streptomycin

X5 = 0.2g/l

X0 = 10.0g/l

X5/X0 = 0.02

given

Xn/X0, E, and

n = 5

A estimate of E  can be evaluated directly;

E = 1.8

= LKd/H

by substituting the given values; Kd = 40, H= 150l/min

then we have,

L;L = 1.8(150)/40

= 6.75l l/min
