This type of natural selection is referred to as directional selection. In this type of natural selection, either one phenotype is preferred or the other; therefore, there is no equilibrium between the populations of the phenotypes that are present.
Examples of organisms that have undergone directional selection are black bears during the ice ages, African chichlid and sockey salmon.

Disruptive selection<span> is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. This selection select types with specific advantages.
</span>Directional selection favors a single phenotype at one of the ends of the variations (extremes) and stabilizing selection favors <span>an average phenotype with no extreme variations.
</span>So, natural selection that favors the one extreme in the range of variation for a phenotype is called directional selection.

Choose the true statement(s) that support(s) the endosymbiotic theory. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true stat

horsena [70]

Answer:

a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.

c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.

d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.

The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
