1. How many modes of selection are there?: 3

2. What are the modes of selection?: Stabilizing selection, directional selection,

bb and disruptive selection

3. Stabilizing Selection: The mean of the trait remains similar over t

bb standard deviation decreases

4. Directional Selection: The mean phenotype shifts in a particular directio

5. Disruptive Selection: The standard deviation of the trait increases as

with the mean value disappear.

6. Stabilizing Selection Explained: The stronger the selective pressure against
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb extreme phenotypes, the narrower the distribution of phenotypes will be in
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
1 bb/
,bb future generations. In the end, the size of the standard deviation will reflect both
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb the strength of selection against extremes and the frequency of mutations creating
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb new variation. Thus, when we observe a wide range of phenotypes in a
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb population, we might infer weak selective pressure against the extremes.

7. Directional Selection Explained: The population's environment changes. The
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb mean phenotype in the population may no longer be the phenotype that reproduces
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb the most. Over time, we should expect the mean phenotype to shift higher or
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb lower, depending on the direction of selective pressure. Once the mean phenotype
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb catches up to the change in the environment, stabilizing selection will resume.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
The environment must change slowly enough for the population to persist. If the
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb environment changes too quickly, no members of the population will be able to
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb reproduce, leading to extinction. bb bb bb
8. Disruptive Selection Explained: A population can occupy an environment in
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb which individuals with extreme phenotypes reproduce more than individuals
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb with the mean phenotype.

This mode of selection occurs when several distinct strategies confer greater
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb reproductive success than other strategies do. Can produce new species when
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb individuals choose to mate only with similar-looking individuals. This non-random
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
bb mating prevents recombination from restoring intermediate phenotypes.

12.True or False? If the slope of the relationship between the phenotype
