Answer: Creds to guy above, He was correct. Easier copy and paste here.

Yes both are different. In directional selection one of the extreme traits is favored, whereas in disruptive selection both the extreme traits are favored.

Directional: If selection acts to eliminate one extreme form and supports the other extreme then the peak shifts in the direction which is selected by the nature.

Disruptive: If the selection does not favor the mean character value, rather favors both the peripheral character values then this kind of selection is called disruptive selection.

Which of the following is a trace gas?<br><br> nitrogen<br> oxygen<br> ozone<br> hydrogen
myrzilka [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Hydrogen and ozone are both examples of trace gases. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Trace gases are present in minor quantities in the <em>earth’s atmosphere and all the gases except nitrogen, oxygen and argon </em>which make up the major portion of earth’s atmosphere are considered trace gases.

The respective percentages of nitrogen, oxygen and argon in the atmosphere are<em> 78.1%, 20.9% and 0.934%.</em>  The process that produce trace gases is called source and  the process that removes trace gas from the <em>atmosphere is called sink. </em>

<em>Some other examples of trace gases are carbon dioxide, neon, helium etc. </em>
