Answer:

Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection

Results in new species: Disruptive selection

Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection

No increase in diversity: Directional selection

One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection

Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection

Diversity increases: Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.

Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.

While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.

Summary. Multiple types of evidence support the theory of evolution: Homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry, while analogous structures show that similar selective pressures can produce similar adaptations (beneficial features).

The P(O₂) in the tissue cells is ____________ mm Hg. The blood as it enters the surrounding systemic capillaries has a P(O₂) of
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: 40 mm Hg,  95 mm Hg, out of, down

Explanation:

In tissue cells the P(O2) is 40 mm Hg. The blood as it reaches the systemic capillaries around it has a P(O2) of 95 mm Hg. Hence, oxygen diffuses into the cells from the systemic capillaries down the partial pressure gradient. The carbon dioxide diffuses in the same direction at the same time.

Hence, the blanks will be filled with 40 mm Hg,  95 mm Hg, out of, down.
