Answer:

Natural selection disrupts the genetic equilibrium by favoring the genes for the traits that impart survival advantage to individuals.

Explanation:

Natural selection refers to the unequal survival rate of individuals of a population due to the presence of some beneficial adaptive genetic trait. These individuals are able to survive more and leave more progeny. Over generations, the population has increased number of these individuals leading to evolution of a population with different allele frequencies.  

For example, the frequency of gene for antibiotic resistance in the bacterial population was increased once humans started using antibiotics to control the bacterial population. This led to the evolution of the bacterial population with antibiotic resistance.

Answer:

Increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature.

Explanation:

If both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease, increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature. The decrease in ozone levels allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface which lead to various diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The atmospheric carbondioxide gas is responsible for the increase of surface temperature by trapping reflected solar radiations so decrease in carbondioxide concentration will leads to lower surface temperature.
