Answer:

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

What did rosenberg and trevathan discover in their study comparing human and nonhuman primate birth?
melamori03 [73]
When comparing the birth patterns of humans and non-human primate, Rosenberg and Trevathan discovered some very clear differences:

1. The human period of labour and child birth is exceptionally long and painful compared to other non-human primates.
E.g. a human labour can last anywhere from 10-20 hours while that of a chimpanzee lasts only 2 hours.

2. Humans have the ability to walk straight, the trade off however is that it is extremely difficult and painful to give birth to a big brained human baby.
