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.

If the calvin cycle slows down, what will happen to the rate of o2 production in ps ii, and why?
Schach [20]
If the Calvin cycle slows down, THE RATE OF OXYGEN PRODUCTION IN PS II WILL BE REDUCED. 
This is because, the light reaction depends on the dark reaction to occur. If the Calvin cycle slows down, the light cycle will have less ADP and NADP+ to work with and this will slow down the production rate of the photosynthetic reaction.

Is it possible today for a eukaryotic cell to live without mitochondria or chloroplasts? Choose the best answer below.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

No, eukaryotic cells cannot live without mitochondria and chloroplasts; they provide the energy cells need to survive.

Explanation:

It is not possible today for a eukaryotic cell to live without mitochondria or chloroplasts since these are the organelles responsible for providing the energy cells need to survive.

Mitochondria are the organelles that synthesize energy in cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll and where photosynthesis takes place in a cell.
