The graphs of the 3 types of selection and label the average and the extremes?
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.
In a population that is not undergoing natural selection for a certain trait what does the phenotype distribution look like?
The distribution will center towards hetrotrophs and thus dominant phenotypes. The distribution approaches all dominant phenotypes
What effect does stabilizing selection have on variation in a population?
Stabilizing selection reduces variation in a population by favoring the average phenotype, while selecting against extreme phenotypes. This can lead to a decrease in genetic diversity within the population as individuals with extreme traits are less likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, stabilizing selection tends to maintain a stable, intermediate phenotype.
When stabilizing selection acts to elimination extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes the frequencies of the intermediate phenotypes increase?
Yes, when stabilizing selection is acting, individuals with extreme phenotypes are selected against, leading to an increase in the frequencies of intermediate phenotypes within a population. This process helps to maintain the overall consistency of a particular trait or characteristic over successive generations by favoring individuals with traits closer to the population average.
What does stabilizing selection do?
The average, distributed normally, trait in phenotype of a population is selected for. Take height in humans as an example. We have variation there, but there are too few ten foot humans and too few 2 foot hymans in the human population because natural selection in it's stabilizing form makes such height extremes reproductively unsuccessful in all earth's immediate environments.

What is a common cause of stablilizing selection?
The type of selection that removes the fringe from both ends of phenotype distribution and establishing a means or average. Genetic diversity decreases and there is a stabilization on a particular trait.
What effect does stabilizing selection have on variation in a population?
Stabilizing selection reduces variation in a population by favoring the average phenotype, while selecting against extreme phenotypes. This can lead to a decrease in genetic diversity within the population as individuals with extreme traits are less likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, stabilizing selection tends to maintain a stable, intermediate phenotype.
Tends to favor phenotypes at one extreme of the range of variation?
This is called directional selection, where the environment selects for individuals with traits at one extreme of the phenotypic range. Over time, this can lead to a shift in the average phenotype toward that extreme.
What form of natural selection is shown on a graph as selection against an extreme?
Directional selection is shown on a graph as selection against an extreme. This occurs when individuals at one extreme of a trait distribution have lower fitness than individuals with intermediate phenotypes or those at the opposite extreme. Over time, this can lead to a shift in the average phenotype of a population.
When stabilizing selection acts to elimination extremes at both ends of a range of phenotypes the frequencies of the intermediate phenotypes increase?
Yes, when stabilizing selection is acting, individuals with extreme phenotypes are selected against, leading to an increase in the frequencies of intermediate phenotypes within a population. This process helps to maintain the overall consistency of a particular trait or characteristic over successive generations by favoring individuals with traits closer to the population average.
What are the 4 types of natural selection?
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).
How does natural selection act on the phenotype of an organism?
The phenotype of organisms determines the way they interact with one another and with their environment. The way organisms interact with one another and with their environment determines how well each organism is able to compete for resources and mates - what the chances are of that organism successfully raising fertile offspring, in other words. Such offspring will likely carry the genes that give them their parent's successful phenotype. So over the generations, the genes that produce such successful phenotypes will become more numerous in the population, causing a shift in the average of phenotypes towards this successful phenotype.
Does stabilizing selection favors average individuals?
Yes, stabilizing selection favors average individuals by selecting against extreme phenotypes and maintaining the status quo. It arises when individuals with intermediate traits have a higher fitness compared to those with extreme traits, leading to a reduction in genetic variation over time.
What does stabilizing selection do?

We have variation there, but there are too few ten foot humans and too few 2 foot hymans in the human population because natural selection in it's stabilizing form makes such height extremes reproductively unsuccessful in all earth's immediate environments.
What is the 3 types of natural selection?
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.
