Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.

Alex17521 [72]

Mitosis is one of the precious processes. If it goes wrong then the results will be terrible as it can even bring death to the organism or uncontrollable mutation.


Mitosis is the process in which a cell replicates itself to produce a copy of it. As a result of mitosis, each cell carries the copies of the original cell’s DNA.  


The uncertain error in mitosis will cause a mutation which affect the amino acid sequence and further functions. This will lead to the cell cycle disruption that can lead to the formation of cancer cells that are uncontrollable in dividing itself.

That's quite a bit of points. Offer 20 next time (which shows up as 10).

Not all experiments lend themselves to this, but the best ones do. Make predictions. The startling experiments (the best of them) certainly allow you to make predictions

Most of the time, experiments confirm what was originally thought. It is, however, the best answer among this bunch.

A is also possible, but not always. I will stick with D, but I think others will pick A.

Alcoholism results in the inability of liver cells to properly digest proteins. Which of the following organelles is most likely
dangina [55]
Cells are made up smaller units called organelles that undertake various critical roles in the activities of the cell. Some of these organelles include, mitochondria whose major function is formation and production of energy in the form of ATP, Ribosome is an organelle involved in the protein synthesis, lysosome is involved in the destruction of old and worn out tissues and organelles, Golgi apparatus or complex helps in transportation, modification and packaging of secretions such as proteins and lipids. Therefore, alcoholism affects the activity of lysosomes in the liver since they are tasked in the digestion of proteins using hydrolytic enzymes.
