Scientists are studying the mating habits of a population of butterfly fish on a Caribbean coral reef. They discover that both the largest and smallest males get the most mates and pass on the largest number of genes to the population's offspring. The largest males get a large number of mates because they can guard the females, preventing most of the smaller males from mating. However, the very smallest males also get a large number of mates because they escape the notice of the larger males and are able to mate with the females quickly. Based on these observations, which selective force appears to be acting on male body size in this population?
Answer:
The correct answer is - Disruptive selection.
Explanation:
Disruptive selection is a mode of natural selection that exhibits that two extreme values of phenotypic traits of the population are favored by this population than the population with their intermediate values. Disruptive selection occurs when there is a fitness advantage of extreme values of phenotypic traits over more intermediate phenotypes.
In this case, the largest males mates more, due to fact that they can guard the females, than smaller males. The smallest fishes also get a high number of mates as are able to mate with the females quickly without coming to the notice of larger males.
Why were the high concentrations of DDT in the birds bodies?
Answer:
because chlorinated hydrocarbons accumulate in fatty tissues, when a ton of contaminated fishes is turned into 200 pounds of seabirds, most of the DDT from the numerous fishes ends up in relatively few birds. As a result, the birds have a higher level of contamination per pound than the fishes.

Do you think if the environmental conditions in an area changes that the plants and animals that inhabit that region will change their features to adapt to the changing conditions?
Answer:
yea
Explanation:
cause our climate conditions changes everyday depends on the atmosphere at that time so if there fire in a forest all the animals there have to adapt to the smoke.
Yes, if the environmental conditions in an area changes that the plants and animals that inhabit that region will change their features to adapt to the changing conditions.
Why plants and animals will change their features?
Plants and animals are fundamentally different in many ways, but one of the most obvious is in how they deal with temperature.The climatic niche of a species reflects where it can live.A species with a wide climatic niche can range widely across many different conditions and may be especially resilient to climate change.Different sets of plant and animal species tend to occur at different elevations, which differ in temperature and precipitation.

Based on the relationship between photosynthesis and CO2, explain why CO2 concentrations cycle over the course of a year?
Explanation:
the amount of CO2 found in the atmospheres varies over the course of a year how much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in the carbon cycle respiration occurs all the time but dominates during the colder months of the year resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.

Humanity faces a great number of environmental challenges, including: resource depletion, ecosystem service deterioration, pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change. Technology and research have both had positive and negative effects on the environment. Evaluate the impact of scientific research and technology on the environment. What are some ways that scientific research has harmed the environment. Choose ALL that apply. A) Research has led to the depletion of natural resources. Eliminate B) Air, water, heat and noise pollution can all be caused by producing and using technology. C) Scientific research has led to widespread increases in carbon emissions which has led to global climate change. D) Scientific research has caused widespread habitat disturbance and destruction as scientists have invaded ecosystems. E) Manufacturing technology creates large amounts of waste, and used computers and electronics get thrown out when they break or become outdated.
Answer:
Option B and E and D
Explanation:
Technological advancement has led to growth of industries and manufacturing units and hence the net production of goods. This has led to the use of natural resources and release of pollution of all forms. Environmental research leads to intrusion into niche habitats and hence causes its destruction.

A construction company wants to trap pollutants in runoff at its sites. What should the company do?
O A.
Practice conservation tillage at the sites.
O B. Release beneficial insects,
such as spiders and ladybugs, at the sites.
O C. Plant grass and
lay straw at the sites.
O D. Plant trees at the sites.
Answer:
O C. Plant grass and lay straw at the sites.
Explanation:
Plant grass and lay straw at the sites are used by the company to trap pollutants at its sites because these plants reduce the runoff by absorbing most of the water and by absorbing water we can trap the pollutants present in that water. By trapping this industrial water, we can reduce water pollution that occurs due to this industrial waste and pollutants so planting grass and lay straw is the best way to trap pollutant.
