Is there a picture that shows what 'e' is? Possible description?
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
Answer:
The correct answer is :
Independent variable: study music.
Dependent variable: test performance.
Explanation:
Independent variable in a experiment is a variable or a factor that is manipulated or changed in a particular experiment to see its the effect on dependent variable of this change. In this case classical music is variable as it is manipulated to see if it has any effect on studying.
Dependent variable is a variable which is measured in experiment to find the result and affected by the independent variable. In this case testing the performance of subject is dependent variable as it is being measured and affected by classical music.
Thus, the correct answer is: Independent variable: study music.
Dependent variable: test performance.
