This question lacks options; the options are:

A) Artificial selection

B) Stabilizing selection

C) Disruptive selection

D) Directional selection

The answer is D) Directional selection

Explanation:

Changes in the environmenal condition affects the distribution of organisms phenotypes. Via this change, organisms with certain traits are naturally selected. The types of natural selection are; stabilizing, disruptive and directional.

Based on the description of the selection in this question, the type of selection is DIRECTIONAL. Directional mutation is that in which one of the two extreme phenotypes in a population is selected against while the other is favored by the occurrence of a natural environmental hazard. The distribution gradually shifts to favour one extreme over the other until the other unselected extreme gets extincted.

This is the case regarding a population of finches affected by drought caused by flood causing all their food source to disappear leaving only ant hills that certain finches with thin beaks can access. This environmental change favorably selects one extreme phenotype (finches with long thin beaks). Hence, a type of DIRECTIONAL selection

Jared was investigating a drug cartel and ate a meal with one of the suspects. After the meal, he had trouble breathing and felt weak and dizzy. Jared may have been poisoned. He is being taken to the CIA hospital for treatment. You are a medical toxologist working for the CIA. It is your job to find out what poison was given to Jared and try to save his life. Patient: Jared Sondheim Age: 32 Occupation: CIA Agent Symptoms: Muscle Weakness Shortness of Breath Dizziness. Jared has arrived at the hospital! It is your job to find out what toxin was used to poison Jared. You can then give him the correct antidote to save Jared's life.

Answer:

Poisning by 2-deoxyglucose syops the glycolysis process which leads to cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms. Due to property of inhibiting the enzyme reqquired for glycolysis, glucokinase. So, there is no ATP production takes place.

Arsenic poisoning inhibits the second stae of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle which leads to pyruvate accumalation. The symptoms associated with arsenic are diarrhea, sking tone, abdomunal pain, and muscle cramps.

Oligomycin is used as an antibiotic to inhibit proton ATPase present in mitochondria membrane which blocks ATP formation. Watery eyes, cough, congestion in chest and nose are sysmptopms of oligomycin poisining.

The symptoms cyanide poisoning are dizziness, short breath, nd muscle weakness which matches with the symptoms of jarod.
