What are the three patterns of of natural 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.
Which kind of selection eliminates extreme phenotypes?
disruptive selection
What do stabilizing selection and disruptive selection have in common apex?
They both decrease genetic variation
What type of selection produce a distribution of phenotype opposite to that produced by stabilizing selection?
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.
What type of selection produces a distribution of phenotypes opposite to that produced by stabilizing selection?
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.
What is the type of natural selection that favors intermediate phenotypes?
When natural selection favors the intermediate version of a characteristic, it is referred to as stabilizing selection. It is the opposite of disruptive selection.
What are the three patterns of of natural 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.
When individuals with an average form of a trait have the highest fitness?
Stabilizing selection
Which kind of selection eliminates extreme phenotypes?
disruptive selection
Which natural selection select against both extremes?
Stabilizing selection.
A population of mice lives near a stream The larger mice tend to live longer and over many generations the average mouse size gets larger What type of selection is this?
Directional selection
Type of selection that keeps the center of the curve at its current position?
stabilizing selection
Which type of natural selection favors average individual in a population?
It is stabilizing selection
What do stabilizing selection directional selection have in common?
They both decrease genetic variation .
When natural selection favor the intermediate version of a characteristic it is called?
stabilizing selection
What do stabilizing selection and disruptive selection have in common apex?
They both decrease genetic variation
what do stabilizing selection and direction and directional selection have in common?
They both decrease genetic variation .
