Question
An enlarged right ventricle both increases oxygen intake and the risk of pulmonary hypertension. How can natural selection result in an adaption that produces both positive and negative effects?(1 point)
Responses
The positive effects appear after reproductive age in certain environments.
The positive effects appear after reproductive age in certain environments.

The positive effects outweigh the negative effects in certain environments.
The positive effects outweigh the negative effects in certain environments.
The negative effects appear before reproductive age in certain environments.

The correct response is:
**The positive effects outweigh the negative effects in certain environments.**
This option indicates that, under specific environmental conditions, the advantages provided by an enlarged right ventricle (such as increased oxygen intake) could be more beneficial for survival and reproduction than the associated risks (like pulmonary hypertension), thus allowing natural selection to favor this adaptation.
