Answer:

C. Both light tan and dark tan body color provided an advantage to the crabs on this beach, but not necessarily in other crab habitats.

Explanation:

The changes in the number of light tan and dark tan body color of crabs that occured can be described as a diversifying or disruptive selection.

This disruptive selection occurs when individuals with extreme traits on both ends of the spectrum become selected against individuals of ntermediate or medium traits.

In the case of the crab, their environment favors the selection of both extreme values as against those intermediate individuals, as both light tan and dark tan body color of the crabs gives them advantage over others in this particular environment. This may only be obtainable in this environment or similar beach environment with the same settings and conditions.

genetic engineering might allow parent to 'design' their children before birth are you in favor of this? why or why not?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

I think it is quite an interesting idea to allow parents to 'design' their children before birth. Because some people have preferences and those preferences are taken very seriously. I wouldn't want to have a baby boy, I would want a baby girl. Although, this could be a waste of money and time because this might be one of the things that are better not to be fixed even if it isn't broken. But, this can also be good, if you desperately need a child with specific features, this can help. Even if I can't seem to find a reason where a child is supposed to have specific features.

Name the two different types of translatory motion and explain each in brief

garik1379 [7]

Translatory motion can be of two types: rectilinear and curvilinear. If a body moves as a whole such that every part of the body moves through the same distance in a given time, then the body is said to be in translatory motion.
