Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."

Sex cells will always contain half of the number of chromosomes needed for a being. So if a fishes sperm cell contains 12 chromosomes and the ovum also contains 12 chromosomes then when fused together they will have 24 chromosomes in total.
In order for the process of the fish to even be made the sperm and ovum must be fused together. Therefore the number of chromosomes that would be found in the cells forming the gills is 24 chromosomes.
A glucogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. This is in contrast to the ketogenic amino acids, which are converted into ketone bodies.
