Answer:

Thymine

Explanation:

Deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA), is the stored form of genetic material in an organism's cell. It is one of the two types of nucleic acid, made up of nucleotide sequences. A nucleotide is a combination of a five-carbon sugar (Deoxyribose in DNA), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine). Each of these chains is known as DNA strand. The nitrogenous bases in DNA align with each other in a manner called base pairing.

Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon whereby in DNA, Adenine (A) always hydrogen bonds to Thymine (T), while Guanine (G) bonds to Cytosine (C) i.e. A-T, G-C . In complementary base pairing, a purine (Adenine and Guanine) always binds to a pyrimidine (Cytosine and Thymine). This pairing is responsible for the double-helical structure of the DNA.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.
pashok25 [27]
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.
