The siberian husky is a medium dog, weighing between 16-27kg (35-60lbs). these dogs have strong pectoral and leg muscles, allowing them to move through dense snow. if they had heavier muscles, they would sink deeper into the snow and move slower. yet, if they had lighter muscles, they would not be strong enough to pull sleds and equipment. this is an example of which type of natural selection? a. directional selection b. stabilizing selection c. disruptive selection

This rapid change in species that rarely leaves behind fossil evidence is referred to as

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
