Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.

Which of the following best summarizes how hormone levels are controlled?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.

Explanation:

Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method,  concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.  

For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid

Hence, option A is correct

Match each cardiac valve with the two chambers it separates. Each pair of chambers may be used more than once, or not at all. tr
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle carrying deoxygenated blood from right atrium to right ventricle

The mitral/bicuspid valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle carrying oxygenated blood from left atrium to left ventricle

Pulmonary semilunar valves separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery preventing bachelor of blood.

Aortic semilunar valves separates the left ventricle from the aorta preventing backflow of blood

You are invited to participate in a debate about the concept of evolution. Construct an opening statement supporting evolution,
Masja [62]

When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.

Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.

They evolved  survive that antibiotic.
