1. One end of Figure 17-1 shows an increase in average beak size for a population of birds. When individuals at the only one end of a bell curve of phenotype Frequencies have high fitness, the result (1 point) A. Directional Selection B. Stabilizing selection C. Disruptive selection D. Genetic drift

A Directional Selection

Help me with 2 more @YOLO_KING

@YOLO_KING haha dont abuse that

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

:P Lol

2. Figure 17-2 Shows highest fitness towards the center of the curve. WHen individuals with an average form of a trait have the highest fitness, the result is (1 point) A. Directional Selection B. Stabilizing selection C. Disruptive selection D. Not predictable 3. Figure 17-3 shows smaller and larger beaks in a population of finches. One group of birds has a short parrot-like beak and another group has a long narrow beak. What process has probably occurred ( 1 point) A. Directional Selection B. Stabilizing selection C. Disruptive selection D. Genetic drift @YOLO_KING

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

For number 2 what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. D 3. B

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Number two is Stabilizing selection is the opposite of disruptive selection. Instead of favoring individuals with extreme phenotypes, it favors the intermediate variants. It reduces phenotypic variation and maintains the status quo.

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Number three is Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.
