Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
Cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.

Answer:
Brown eyes = 0.5
Blue eyes = 0.5
Explanation:
Given, B ( brown eyes ) is dominant over b ( blue/light eyes ). So,
BB = Brown
Bb = Brown
bb = blue/light
Mr. O'Ryan = blue eyes = bb
Mrs. O'Ryan = heterozygous brown eyes = Bb
Their children: Bb X bb :
B b
b Bb bb
b Bb bb
Half of the children will have Bb genotype and brown eyes, other half will have bb genotype and blue eyes. Hence, Kellan O'Ryan has 0.5 probability of blue eyes and 0.5 probability of brown eyes.
Answer: a. Stomata open at Night
Explanation:
As a tactic to minimize photorespiration in warm regions, many water-storing plants such as cacti and pineapples modified its method of carbon fixation. This process is called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), following the plant family Crassulaceae, in which it was first identified. In these plants, the stomata (singular, stoma), specialized openings in the leaves of all plants through which CO2 enters and water vapor is lost, open during the night and close during the day. This model of stomatal opening and closing is the opposite of that in most plants.
