Answer:

Element

Explanation:

An element is made up of a single type of atom, that is, it’s a substance made up of atoms that have the same number of protons in the nucleus, this number is known as the atomic number of the element. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains its properties.Each element is made up of atoms with the same chemical properties such as reactivity, ionization potential. Chemical elements are identified by names given in antiquity, derived from some property of them, from the name of their discoverer, from the place of discovery. In nature there are 92 elements that can be presented (at 1 atm of pressure and 25 ºC) as solid: iron, lead; liquid: bromine, mercury or gas: chlorine, oxygen.

Answer:

This is an example of directional selection.

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of positive selection where the evolutionary fitness of one genotype is higher compared to the other ones, thereby favoring the selection of one particular phenotype and shifting allele frequencies towards the selected genotype. In a biological context, the directional selection increases the chances for surviving and for reproducing in those organisms that have the alleles favored by this type of selection. Thus, the directional selection produces the loss of genetic variability and leads to the fixation of the dominant alleles.
