A genotype ‘aa’ leads to albinism in peawingspans. This condition is very rarely found in nature, compared to the normal genotype, ‘AA’, and ‘Aa’; as they can be easy prey to their predators and are unable to attract mates. Which types of selection forces act here? Directional selection Stabilizing selection Sexual selection @BioEpic
