Natural selection operates on the phenotype.
Which type of natural selection occurs when the extreme opposites in a phenotype range are selected?
Disruptive selection, also known as diversifying selection.

The graphs of the 3 types of selection and label the average and the extremes?
There are three types of selections. The three types of selections include: disruptive selection, natural selection, and directional selection.
Which of the following resulted from a genetic variation that was favored by natural selection?
The Long Neck of a Giraffe .
What 3 types of Selection pressures that affect a population structure?
The 3 types of selection pressure on a population: 1) "Stabilizing selection" = intermediate phenotypes are favored and extremes on both ends are eliminated. 2)"Directional selection" = is a mode of natural selection in which a single phenotype is favored, causing the allele frequency to continuously shift in one direction. 3) "Disruptive selection/ Diversifying selection" = describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values

Natural selection operates on the phenotype.
What natural selection acts on?
Phenotype
Does natural selection act on the phenotype?
yes
Which natural selection select against both extremes?
Stabilizing selection.
What does natural selection directly work on?
Natural selection acts on the genotype, but indirectly, through the phenotype.
What is the favored term in natural selection?
evolution
Why does natural selection work on organisms phenotypes rather than their genotypes?
This is backward, natural selection works on genotype not phenotype.

Why is phenotype variation necessary for natural selection and sexual selection?
It is necessary to create a full and varied species.
Which type of natural selection occurs when the extreme opposites in a phenotype range are selected?
Disruptive selection, also known as diversifying selection.
