Scientists observed a population of monkeys on an island. The monkeys were observed to have different finger lengths. Some monkeys had long fingers, some had short fingers, but the majority of them had finger lengths that were closer to the short finger length. Explain how this trait in the population of monkeys would evolve over time if tree branches on the island grew thicker. Would this be an example of stabilizing, directional, or disruptive selection?

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression.c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression.d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
