Stabilizing selection is categorically good for a population because it?
I do not know if I would say " catagorically good ", but stabilizing selection does eliminate the extreme morphologies in a population of organisms. Remember the taget of selection is the individual ( gene ) and the population evolves. So, saying something that is the result of natural selection is " good " for the population is rather confused as individuals are selected. So, extreme morphologies could be " good " for a population depending on the immediate environment.
What does natural selection eliminate from populations?
Natural selection is a term that, if you stated it fully, would say something like "The fittest individuals are naturally selected for reproduction." Unfit organisms do not survive to reproduce and pass on their genes.
Does natural selection eliminate Huntington's disease?
No. Typically the symptoms of HD do not become apparent until long after a person would be of child bearing age.
During an extreme heat wave plants with white flowers survive better?
This is caused by natural selection, and it would increase the frequency of the white alleles.
Why would natural selection not occur in this poplutation?
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
Can natural selection act upon body shape?
Yes, that would be called the Homologous structure, and that changes in natural selection.
Is inheritance a requirement for natural selection?
Yes it does. Without variance in the organisms genome, that gives variance to the phenotype, there would be nothing for natural selection to select from.
What effect would natural selection have on a partially evolved bat?
it would die
Is dog breeding an example of natural selection?
False, dog breeding would be an example of Artificial Selection.
What type of selection is taking place on Wallace Island?
In Darwin's time, it would be classified as "natural" selection.
Is Dog breeding is an example of natural selection?
False, dog breeding would be an example of Artificial Selection.
The mode of natural selection in which both extremes in the range of a phenotype are favored is termed?
That would be disruptive selection.
