That would be disruptive selection.
In stabilizing selection, the average phenotype is favored, leading to a reduction in extreme phenotypes. In directional selection, one extreme phenotype is favored, causing a shift in the average towards that extreme. In disruptive selection, both extreme phenotypes are favored over the average, leading to a bimodal distribution in the population.
The phenotype that is present in most individuals in nature is typically the wild type phenotype, which is the most common and often the ancestral form of a trait within a population. It is favored by natural selection due to its adaptability and overall fitness for survival in the environment.
Disruptive selection occurs when the extreme phenotypes in a population are favored over intermediate phenotypes. This can lead to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups with different traits.
Selection operates on the phenotype, which is the observable characteristics of an organism. Organisms with certain phenotypic traits that increase their fitness are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to the next generation.
Natural selection changes the genetic makeup of a population by favoring some genotypes over others. It does so through the differential reproduction of those genotypes. Put simply, if I possess a variant of a trait (and the genotype underlying it) which allows me to leave behind more adult offspring than those with different variants of that trait, then my variant will become more common in the population than the others. The result is a change in the frequency of the gene variants: mine increases in frequency at the expense of the others. This change in the frequency of gene variants (known as alleles) over time in a population is the basic definition of evolution itself.
In stabilizing selection, the average phenotype is favored, leading to a reduction in extreme phenotypes. In directional selection, one extreme phenotype is favored, causing a shift in the average towards that extreme. In disruptive selection, both extreme phenotypes are favored over the average, leading to a bimodal distribution in the population.
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
The four types of natural selection are stabilizing selection (where the average phenotype is favored), directional selection (where one extreme phenotype is favored), disruptive selection (where both extreme phenotypes are favored), and sexual selection (where traits that increase mating success are favored).
Phenotype
yes
Stabilizing selection.
The three patterns of natural selection are directional selection, stabilizing selection, and disruptive selection. Directional selection favors individuals at one extreme of a trait distribution, stabilizing selection favors the intermediate phenotype, and disruptive selection favors individuals at both extremes of a trait distribution.
evolution
The phenotype that is present in most individuals in nature is typically the wild type phenotype, which is the most common and often the ancestral form of a trait within a population. It is favored by natural selection due to its adaptability and overall fitness for survival in the environment.
This is backward, natural selection works on genotype not phenotype.
Disruptive selection occurs when the extreme phenotypes in a population are favored over intermediate phenotypes. This can lead to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups with different traits.
