Which kind of selection eliminates extreme phenotypes?
disruptive selection
Selection occurs when the environment continually eliminates extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes?
Stabilizing selection.
What type of selection that may eliminate intermediate phenotype is?
disruptive selection
What do stabilization selection and disruptive selection have in common?
They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation
What type of selection may eliminate intermediate phenotypes?
b) disruptive selection. It
What selection favors organisms with phenotypes that are at one extreme rlative to the average phenotype?
Tends to result in a population whose individuals have extreme traits is what? ----> it is directional selection
When does disruptive selection occur?
Disruptive selection occurs when there is selection against the heterozygous individual, causing the population of homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individuals to increase, splitting the population into two groups corresponding to the dominant/recessive alleles.
Which kind of selection eliminates extreme phenotypes?
disruptive selection
Selection occurs when the environment continually eliminates extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes?
Stabilizing 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.
The curve on the left shows the height of a population of penguins. The curve on the right shows the population five years later. What has happened to this population?
Directional Selection - APEX
If coat color in a rabbit population is a polygenic trait which process might have produced the graph below?
A) Disruptive Selection
What type of selection that may eliminate intermediate phenotype is?
disruptive selection
What do stabilization selection and disruptive selection have in common?
They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation
Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?
Natural Selection.
What type of selection may eliminate intermediate phenotypes?
b) disruptive selection. It
