Answer:
a. Directional selection favors one end of the phenotype distribution, whereas
stabilizing selection favors intermediate over extreme phenotypes
Explanation:
Directional selection is called directional because it favors one phenotype over another, and stabilizing selection finds a balance between phenotypes.
Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.
1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.
2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.
3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.
4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.

Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceiveonly the reflected colors.
