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.

Which type of ovarian follicle contains a secondary oocyte?
Illusion [34]
I think it is the secondary ovarian follicle that contains the secondary oocyte.The stages of the ovarian cycle that the follicle will go through includes; a primary follicle contains an oocyte and begins producing estrogen. Then the secondary oocyte contains a secondary oocyte and produces estrogen and some progesterone, then the graafian follicle develops and the secondary oocyte is released a process we call ovulation. the corpus luteum produces progesterone and some estrogen and lastly the corpus luteum degenerates.

In what places have bacteria resistant to antibiotics caused particular problems?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Bacteria that are non-controlled or destroyed by antibiotics are antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the presence of an antibiotic, they will live and even develop. At least certain antibiotics can become immune to most infection-causing bacteria.

Explanation:

Some bacteria are immune to such antibiotics naturally. In most species found within the human digestive system, for example, benzylpenicillin has very little impact.

Explain Your Reasoning Place an "x" in the appropriate box if the characteristic could describe science, pseudoscience, or both.

Pseudoscience may sometimes permit personal opinions as evidence.

<h3>What is pseudoscience?</h3>

The term pseudoscience refers to the reliance on logical explanations rather than empiricism to explain the observations in the universe. We know that science is empirical and results must be reproducible.

It is important to emphasize that the difference between science and pseudoscience is that science has an emphasis on empiricism and experiments are the only way that we could validate. Most of the earliest approaches to the study of the universe depended on pseudoscience.

The study of the natural world is the concern of both science and pseudoscience. The explanations in pseudoscience may sound logical but the results generated by science can be tested by others. The explanations of science can be proven false.

Lastly pseudoscience may sometimes permit personal opinions as evidence.
