In a population of rabbits, those able to outrun predators will survive to reproduce, eventually leading to a population of faster rabbits. this is an example of selection. a.disruptiveb. stabilizingc. directionald. mutationale. restricted

c. Directional

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection in population genetics that occurs when a particular extreme phenotype (i.e. faster rabbits) are favored over other phenotypes (all the other rabbits that are not faster) when exposed to factors that threaten their survival, such as predation. In the long run, the allele frequency of the population of the rabbits shifts towards the direction of the phenotype of faster rabbits. Meaning, faster rabbits would dominate the population that would exist in such environment overtime, due to their ability to outrun predators, and would survive to produce more offspring that are faster.

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
