What name is given to the most common phenotype in a natural population?
A wild type.
What is Stabilizing Selection and Distruptive selection?
A type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value.
What is a prolonged period of greatly reduce precipitation and is the most common type of natural disaster?
drought
What type of natural selection causes no change in the population?
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set by natural selection.
Is natural gas the most popular fossil fuel?
No, crude oil used to make Petroleum is the most common type of fossil fuel.
What type of selection pushed Darwin's theory?
Natural Selection
Which type of natural selection prevents evolution?
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?
Natural Selection.
What is the type of natural selection that favors intermediate phenotypes?
When natural selection favors the intermediate version of a characteristic, it is referred to as stabilizing selection. It is the opposite of disruptive selection.
Which type of natural selection favors average individual in a population?
It is stabilizing selection
Which type of natural selection in which the mean characteristics of a population are preserved?
This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.
What is the name of this type of evolutionary change?
Natural selection
What name is given to the most common phenotype in a natural population?
A wild type.
What kind of selections occurs in many birds when males that build strong nests help care for young are chosen by females as mates?
This is called, sexual selection.
What type of selection is taking place on Wallace Island?
In Darwin's time, it would be classified as "natural" selection.
What is a type of natural selection where certain species turned black from coal burning factories?
Directional selection.
What is Stabilizing Selection and Distruptive selection?
A type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value.
