Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype over the mean or another extreme. Examples of directional selection include giraffes that have long necks and the darkening of London's peppered moths after the Industrial Revolution.

Stabilizing selection, also known as purifying selection, is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value. An example of stabilizing selection is birth weigh in humans.

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that shows a preference toward the reproduction of genetic material at the extremes within a population.One of the most studied examples of disruptive selection is the case of ​London's peppered moths.

Which would least likely be able to cross the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane answers?
ruslelena [56]

Answer;

-Large polar molecule are list likely to cross the phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation;

-A large polar molecule would be the least likely to passively diffuse through a plasma membrane without the help of a transport protein. Both its size and the hydrophobic interior of the membrane would restrict it.

-Only small uncharged molecules can diffuse freely through phospholipid bilayers. Small nonpolar molecules, such as O2 and CO2, are soluble in the lipid bilayer and therefore can readily cross cell membranes.

-Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature.
