That is the definition of stabilizing selection.
Stabilizing selection.
You can see the phenotype. A good way to remember is that a photograph is what you see. The genotype is the graphic representation of the trait.
Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
it is a thing
Phenotypes
Characteristics such as hair color and height are called phenotypes. Phenotypes are determined by the make up of alleles in the body, known as genotypes.
Increase, of course.
A well stated definition of what stabilizing selection is, so true.
When natural selection favors the intermediate version of a characteristic, it is referred to as stabilizing selection. It is the opposite of disruptive selection.
Stabilizing selection occurs when organisms with intermediate phenotypes are selected for.
Stabilizing selection, which acts against both extreme phenotypes and favors intermediate variants. Hence the narrowing of the bell curve in the middle.
Highly reduced, or, nonexistent.
disruptive selection
I would make the graph narrower.
b) disruptive selection. It
Stabilizing Selection-- The extremes are selected against.Example: height; mostly beings tend to the average height- not too many really short ones or really tall ones.Directional selection-- One extreme value is selected for.Example: speed; faster is always better so a population will tend to get faster over time.Disruptive selection-- The extremes are both selected for.This type of selection is not as common as the first two. Example: Prey-type animal with distinctive markings which the predators know will over time move away from the norm in both directions.
Variation within a population in which few or no intermediate phenotypes fall between the extremes.
