What type of graph is used to show change?
bar graph
What characteristic of a graph represents the rate of change?
The slope of a graph.
The type of graph used to show continuous change?
A line graph.
Type of graph that is useful for showing trends or continuous change?
graph
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
Explain how stabilizing selection would affect a graph of the distribution of phenotypes for a trait?
I would make the graph narrower.
What does a Graph look like showing phenotype distributions for stabilizing selection?
A normal curve. A Bell curve.
What is the difference between directional and disruptive selection?
I'm not sure what "stabilizing directional" selection is, but if you get out a bell curve graph... Stabilizing selection tends to select for individuals around the average, or mean, of a population, which technically makes the curve steeper. Directional selection shifts the average in one direction (shifts the whole curve in one direction). Disruptive selection creates two new averages, which means it splits the one curve into two, smaller, separate curves.
What is stabilizing evolution?
A mechanism (most common) of natural selection where overall genetic diversity decreases due to particular trait or genotype getting 'fixed' into the population. It is usually represented as a parabola on a graph.
Compare and contrast stabilizing directional and disruptive selection?
Stabilizing selection is where a population is favored by just the right amount of a certain trait, and if they don't have the right amount of that certain trait then they die. Example: Human babies and birth weight, if the baby is too small, i gets sick. If the baby is too big, it cannot get through the pelvis; but just the right weight and it will come out lively and well. Disruptive selection is when an animal has to fit in with its environment; I.E., camouflage.
The following curve shows the distribution of the masses of the individuals in a population of gerbils. Which of the curves below shows the same population after stabilizing selection has happened?
It would be the one taller then the original graph. APEX
How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?
Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph
What is the graph that measures a change over time?
Line graph
What type of graph is used to show change?
bar graph
What characteristic of a graph represents the rate of change?
The slope of a graph.
How do you determine the rate of change in a graph?
Rate of change is essentially the same as the slope of a graph, that is change in y divided by change in x. If the graph is a straight-line, the slope can be easily calculated with the formula:Vertical change ÷ horizontal change = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
How do you change a time graph into a rate graph?
differentiate with respect to time.
