This type of natural selection is called directional selection and does not display a normal curve of expressed traits, but a heavy set of data to the left of the curve that indicates the direction of selection of the extreme phenotype.
Disruptive selection is where two extreme phenotypes are maintained in a population. This curve looks like a two humped camel in it's expression of these extreme traits.
What else can I help you with?
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
Is the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources called the natural selection?
The selection of the organism that survives best in a habitat with limited resources and that organisms superior reproductive success is called natural selection.
Which type of natural selection in which the mean characteristics of a population are preserved?
This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.
In a population of horses an extreme phenotype is favored and the distribution of genes in that population shifts toward that phenotype This process is called selection?
the process is called an DIRECTIONAL selection.
In a population of horses an extreme phenotype is favored and the distribution of genes in that population shifts toward that phenotype What is the process called?
The process is called directional selection, where one extreme phenotype is favored over others in a population, resulting in a shift in the frequency of genes towards that phenotype over generations.
What is natural selection that acts against one type of extreme form of a polyygenic trait to reduce genetic variation and change the average value of a trait within a population called?
Stabilizing selection is the type of natural selection that acts against extreme forms of a polygenic trait to reduce genetic variation and maintains the average value of the trait within a population. It favors the intermediate phenotype, leading to a narrowing of the range of variation for that trait over time.
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.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is called?
natural selection
What is the most common name for natural selection?
Natural selection is often (and misleadingly) called 'survival of the fittest'.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
When natural selection favor the intermediate version of a characteristic it is called?
stabilizing selection
When natural selection favors the intermediate version of a characteristic it is called what?
It is called evolution. After all, all characteristics, as far as evolution is concerned, are intermediate. They're all temporary variants, on their way to becoming something else.
Can you have evolution without natural selection?
Of course you can. Google genetic drift and gene flow for two evolutionary drivers ( weak drivers ) that have nothing to do with natural selection. Then there is that subsection of natural selection called sexual selection.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment surivive?
It's called 'survival of the fittest.' or more scientifically called Natural Selection
