<span>Osmolality denotes the number of dissolved particles in the blood. </span>
When blood osmolality increases, ADH is released by the posterior pituitary and acts on the kidney to increase water retention. <span>ADH stands for AntiDiuretic Hormone. </span>ADH works on the kidneys to reabsorb water into the blood stream.
<span>The abundance and variety of fossils in Phanerozoic rocks have allowed geologists to decipher in considerable detail the past 600 million years or so of the Earth’s history. In Precambrian rocks, however, fossils are rare; thus, the geologic record of this important part of the Earth’s history has been especially difficult to decipher. Nonetheless, stratigraphy and radiometric dating of Precambrian rocks have clearly demonstrated that the history of the Earth extends billions of years into the past.</span>
Answer:

stabilizing selection favors intermediate over extreme phenotypes
Explanation:
Directional selection is called directional because it favors one phenotype over another, and stabilizing selection finds a balance between phenotypes.
