The artery that supplies the chin and jaw region of the head with blood is the
facial artery which is a branch of the external carotid artery. All blood from the head arises from the common carotid artery wherein it is divided to internal carotid artery (major blood supply of the brain along with the basilar artery on the posterior side) and external carotid artery (major blood supply of the head other than the brain).
The external carotid artery has 8 major branches (from inferior to superior): (1) superior thyroid artery, (2) ascending pharyngeal artery, (3) lingual artery, (4) facial artery, (5) occipital artery, (6) posterior auricular artery, (7) maxillary artery, and (6) superficial temporal artery.
Attached is a simplified photo of the branches of the external carotid artery.
If the statement is asking whether it is true or false, the
answer is true. The body can make its own lipid because of the food that we eat
and also because it is found in the body where it is located in the tissues and
the cells. It does compose of ring structure as it has multiple rings which are
considered essential and the lipids are considered to be a part of a cell
membrane.
The correct answer is stabilizing selection reduces the amount of variation in a trait. disruptive selection increases the amount of variation in a trait.
Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases because natural selection favours an average phenotype and selects against extreme variations.

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which extreme values for a trait are favoured over intermediate values, thus it increases genetic variance.</span>
