In northern elephant seals, body size is determined by at least 8 genes. Males compete for territories on the beach and larger m

In this example, inheritance of body size is ________________, intrasexual selection on male body size is ____________________, which results in _______________ in mean male body size in subsequent generations.pleiotropic / directional / increasesepistatic / disruptive / decreasespolyallelic/ stabilizing/ no changepolygenic / directional / increasespolygenic / disruptive / decreases

Answer:

polygenic / directional / increases

Explanation:

A trait that is regulated by more than one gene is said to exhibit polygenic inheritance. Body size in northern elephant seals is regulated by at least 8 genes and therefore, an example of a polygenic trait. Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype of the trait due to its survival and reproductive success.

In the given example, larger body size (an extreme phenotype) is favored since the males with larger body sizes are able to win the fights for territories. Here, average and small body sizes are not favored. Directional selection of larger body size would make the males with larger body size to leave more progeny. Over the generations, the population would consist of males with larger body sizes.

konstantin123 [22]

The given question is incomplete as options are not provided, however the options  are as follows :

- Golgi bodies

-lysosomes

-microvilli

-multiple nuclei

Answer:

The correct answer is - golgi bodies.

Explanation:

Goblet cells and glandular epithelial cells are cells that produce and secretes a specific type of products that are termed as the mucin to protect the skin and layer mucous membrane they place.

These cells are characterized by a large amount of Golgi body and endoplasmic reticulum as they are involved in the exocytic pathway which means they secrete, glycoproteins, mucin, and other substances. Golgi bodies needed to modify, synthesis, and secretion.

Thus, the correct answer is - golgi bodies.

How would a scientist have made the distinction between a unicellular and a multicellular organism in the 17th century(1600s), t
Drupady [299]

Using a microscope

Explanation:

A microscope is a scientific device used for magnifying and studying very tiny features.

It was invented by Anton Von Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century.

  • A unicellular organism is an organism made up of a single cell.
  • A multi-cellular organism is made up of several cells.
  • A cell is a very small microscopic structure.
  • It is usually described as the fundamental unit of life.
  • Due to its small size, the naked eyes cannot see it
  • The invention of the microscope opened up the world of cells.
  • Since they have been around for a long time, distinction of cells would have been made possible at those times using a microscope.

A farmer stops cultivating a large tract of farmland and abandons it. the natural changes taking place soon afterwards, such as
erastovalidia [21]

<span>When a farmer stops cultivating farmland and abandons it, the growth of wild grasses and weeds can be considered secondary succession because of the presence of the existing soil. Secondary succession occurs in ecosystem when soil have been disturbed or disrupted by humans such in a way of farming.  Furthermore, the reason why it cannot be categorize as primary succession because primary succession only occurs in essentially lifeless areas, where soil is not capable of sustaining life. Specifically, this is called old-field succession where wild grasses and weeds represents a new plant species to colonize a bare soil after the farmer abandon the farmland.</span>
