ICE Princess25 [194]2 years ago

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.

Meat is not a good source of protein because it does not provide the body with all the essential amino acids.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: False.

Meat is a good source of protein. There are nine essential amino acids which are required under special conditions like illness.

These are-  Histidine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Methionine, Lysine, Phenylalanine and Tryptophan. They cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore need to be taken from external protein sources.

Since meat contains all the essential amino acids, therefore it is considered as a good source of protein. Hence, the given statement is false.
