The spotted touch-me-not, a flowering plant, has seed pods that burst open when touched and forcefully eject their seeds. Such an adaptation is favorable because it A. aids in the dispersal of the species B. attracts insects that aid in pollination. C. prevents germination within the seed pod. D. can cause genetic changes to occur. Which concept was not included in Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection? A. survival of the fittest B. struggle for existence C. overproduction of offspring D. punctuated equilibrium

Explanation / Answer

1. In Disruptive Selection, individuals with both extreme forms of a trait are at a selective advantage.

Note:Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.

2. The spotted touch-me-not, a flowering plant, has seed pods that burst open when touched and forcefully eject their seeds. Such an adaptation is favorable because it aids in the dispersal of the species

    Note: By forcefully ejecting their seeds, it ensures that they get scattered all over, and are hopefully carried by    the wind to other appropriate locations to germinate.

3. Which concept was not included in Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection?

Ans):         Punctuated equilibrium
