How is directional selection related to evolution?

Biology
1 answer:
soldier1979 [14.2K]2 years ago
6 0
Directional selection occurs when individuals with traits on one side of the mean in their population survive better or reproduce more than those on the other. ... Directional selection does the “heavy lifting” of evolution by tending to move the trait mean toward the optimum for the environment.

viva [34]
According to productivity expert Odette Pollar, "to do more in a day, you must do less, not do everything faster." Pollar said that on the average if you spend not enough time and energy on those things you alone can do, you must look for tasks that others can and let them take over. Focus on the prize.<span>

Bess [88]
You may be referring to the cytoplasm here. That is the "filling" within the cell. But if you are looking for specific transport of proteins, the ER folds proteins and then transport vesicles move them to the Golgi.

An action potential involves potassium ions moving ________ the cell and sodium ions moving ________ the cell.
Alecsey [184]

An action potential involves potassium ions moving <u>outside </u>the cell and sodium ions moving <u>inside </u>the cell.

<h3>how does it action potential work?</h3>

Neurons have a negative concentration gradient most of the time, meaning there are more positively charged ions outside than inside the cell. This regular state of a negative concentration gradient is called resting membrane potential. During the resting membrane potential there are:

  • more sodium ions (Na^+ ) outside than inside the neuron
  • more potassium ions (K^+ ) inside than outside the neuron

The concentration of ions isn’t static though! Ions are flowing in and out of the neuron constantly as the ions try to equalize their concentrations. The cell however maintains a fairly consistent negative concentration gradient (between -40 to -90 millivolts). How?

  • The neuron cell membrane is super permeable to potassium ions, and so lots of potassium leaks out of the neuron through potassium leakage channels (holes in the cell wall).
  • The neuron cell membrane is partially permeable to sodium ions, so sodium atoms slowly leak into the neuron through sodium leakage channels.
  • The cell wants to maintain a negative resting membrane potential, so it has a pump that pumps potassium back into the cell and pumps sodium out of the cell at the same time.
