Artificial selection.
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.
Stabilizing selection is responsible for reducing variation within a population. This type of natural selection favors intermediate phenotypes and selects against extreme traits, leading to a decrease in variability. As a result, the population becomes more uniform over time, as individuals with traits closer to the average are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Disruptive selection produces a distribution of phenotypes opposite to that of stabilizing selection. While stabilizing selection favors intermediate phenotypes and reduces variation, disruptive selection favors extreme phenotypes at both ends of the spectrum, leading to increased variation within a population. This can result in two or more distinct forms, promoting speciation over time.
Disruptive selection produces a distribution of phenotypes that is opposite to that of stabilizing selection. While stabilizing selection favors intermediate phenotypes and reduces variation, disruptive selection favors extreme phenotypes at both ends of the spectrum, leading to increased variation within a population. This can result in the emergence of two distinct phenotypic groups, potentially leading to speciation over time.
Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection that favors the intermediate phenotypes in a population, leading to a decrease in genetic diversity. Disruptive selection, on the other hand, favors extreme phenotypes over intermediate ones, resulting in increased genetic variation within a population.
This type of selection is called artificial selection.

Go to the Select menu, then select Save Selection. Then type in a name for the selection and click OK.
Stabilizing selection is the mode of selection that can lead to a reduction in variation without changing the mean of a trait. In this type of selection, extreme phenotypes are selected against, while intermediate phenotypes are favored, resulting in a narrower range of phenotypic variation but maintaining the same mean.
When the mean value of variation is selected, it typically results in stabilizing selection. This type of selection favors individuals with traits that are close to the average, reducing the prevalence of extreme phenotypes. As a result, the population tends to maintain its average traits over time, leading to reduced variation and increased uniformity within the population.

Sexual selection is a type of natural selection resulting from variation in the ability to obtain mates.
Selective breeding, which is a form of artificial selection.
