Answer:

The phrase "disease is an agent of natural selection" means that those individuals which carry specific genes to resist the disease will be selected by the nature, whereas those individuals which that don't have or not capable of developing resistance genes will be excluded.

It is a well-established fact that diseases (mainly outbreaks) are best action of nature to select only those individuals which can modify there genetic material and thrive against the changing environmental conditions. Let's take the example of Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) this year. From the statistics we know that old people that develop the disease are most likely killed within a few days. However, young people can develop immunity against the virus easily. Hence, nature selects young people and exclude older people. This natural phenomenon is however driven by the disease.

Dafna1 [17]

The Nucleus contains most of the genetic information for making proteins

The ribosome is the place where the polypeptide strand and the mRNA meet in order to create a protein

Nucleolus has a role in the biogenesis of the ribosomes

RER -intracelular transport and protein making because of the attached ribosomes

SER-intracelular transport,lipid synthesis and it is the place where the glicogen is metabolized

Golgi Apparatus has a secretive role

Lysosomes contain 40+ hydrolytic enzimes that help with intracelular digestion

Cilia and flagella both help with the moving of the cell

What 3 molecules that aren't DNA helps us learn about evolution?
max2010maxim [7]
We know, DNA is the main molecule by which scientists can learn about evolution by comparing the DNA structure between two different organisms. 
But, in addition to DNA (which is most helpful & important) still, there are 3 molecules that can help us, They are:

1) RNA : - It is found in cytoplasm, as DNA transfers it's codes into RNA during Central dogma, it can help us in evolution studies.

2) Proteins: - Another helpful feature, into which RNA transforms in Central Dogma.

3) Pseudogenes: - It is also known as "Non-coding DNA" It is extra <span>DNA in a genome that do not get transcribed into RNA to synthesize proteins. They can also help us in Evolutionary studies.

Hope this helps!</span>
