A phenotype is the whole set of the characteristic of an organism, like physical characteristics (colour of skin, presence of plumes, presence of wings), behavior (like type of nest, nutritional habits and so on).

The phenotype is the result of the so called genotype (the set of inherited genetic information) and of the organism history and experience.

Is it true When stabilizing selection acts to eliminate extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes the frequencies of the intermediate phenotypes increase?

A well stated definition of what stabilizing selection is, so true.


What is the definition of a discrete trait?

A discrete trait is a trait which doesn't have a range of phenotypes. For example, tongue rolling is a discrete trait as an individual can either roll their tongue or not roll their tongue. There is no phenotype between these two phenotypes.


How many phenotypes does the trait have?

Aa AA aa If A dominant, two phenotypes.


When stabilizing selection acts to elimination extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes the frequencies of the intermediate phenotypes increase?

Yes, when stabilizing selection is acting, individuals with extreme phenotypes are selected against, leading to an increase in the frequencies of intermediate phenotypes within a population. This process helps to maintain the overall consistency of a particular trait or characteristic over successive generations by favoring individuals with traits closer to the population average.


Distinguish between parental and recombinant phenotypes?

Parental Phenotypes are when the offspring of two parents look like one of the two parents. for example, if a green wrinkled pea is crossed with a heterozygous yellow round pea the offspring are 1/4 yellow round, 1/4 green wrinkled, 1/4 yellow wrinkled, and 1/4 green round. the yellow round and green wrinkled look like the parents so they have parental phenotypes, whereas the yellow wrinkled and the green round have combinations of the parental phenotypes thus they have recombinant phenotypes.


What are the different types of races?

There is no such definition or designation of "race." All humans are a single species, but there are phenotypes which are characteristic differences of expressed genetic traits. Eurasia comprises thousands of languages and peoples ranging from virtually the entire spectrum of phenotypes such as Caucasian, Mongoloid, and so on.


When two extreme phenotypes are selected in natural selection the intermediate phenotypes become?

The intermediate phenotypes tend to be selected against, resulting in stabilizing selection that favors the extreme phenotypes. This can lead to a reduction in genetic variation within the population, as individuals with intermediate traits are less likely to survive and reproduce.
