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.

Some synovial joints contain special crescent-shaped pads that provide additional shock absorption, and provide for a better fit
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

menisci

Explanation:

Some synovial joints such as that of knees have crescent-shaped pads. These pads are made up of fibrocartilage and are present between the articular surfaces of the bones. These cartilaginous pads are attached to the fibrous capsule and are called articular discs or menisci.  

The function of the menisci is to serve in shock absorption and minimize the wear and tear of the joint. Meniscus also allows the articulating bony surfaces to fit properly and facilitate an adaptable surface for combined movements. Meniscus serves to distribute the weight over a greater contact surface and thereby makes the joint stable. It also spreads the synovial lubricant across the articular surfaces of the joint.

Which cell junction prevents the movement of solutes between the cells of an epithelial layer?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Gap junctions

Explanation:

Gap junctions form pores that connect adjacent cells. In this way signaling molecules, ions and other substances can pass through the pore to the adjacent cell. This type of cell junctions are important in cardiac muscle responses, in brain signaling, during childbirth, etc.
