<u>Answer:</u>

Mrs F is suffering from the liver disease, it is prominent from her plasma protein study. Plasma proteins are secreted from liver, and its lessening is related to liver failure.

But liver has different other functions too. The RAAS or Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System is dependent on liver. Angiotensinogen I is converted to Angiotensinogen II in liver. In its absence, the potassium secretion is not controlled in kidney. It is secreted in urine, so urine potassium is high, but blood potassium lessens.

Mrs. F has low k+ levels because the liver destroys aldosterone. Aldosterone is a substance used to stimulate the secretion of potassium (k+) in the kidneys. Destruction of this enzyme would mean the reduction of potassium in the body. The inhibition of aldosterone occurs when renin is inhibited.

According to natural selection process, the trend that will occur is that the number of organisms with harmful characteristics will decrease  while organisms with neutral or beneficial traits will increase in the plant population

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable features and characteristics that enable them to adapt to their environment survive while those with unfavorable traits die off.

In a changing environment, it will be observed that the organisms with the most favorable traits will be the most dominant in the environment.

Therefore, for the Year 5 and Year 10, the most likely trend that will occur is that the organisms with harmful characteristics will be decreasing in the plant population while organisms with neutral or beneficial traits will likely be increasing in number.
