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.

The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is _____ kcal.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is 1636 kcal.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Any increase to the metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase the basal metabolic rate.
