The most common circumference to be expected in this situation is 2 cm.

Since it is given that the original population of oak trees contains acorns with the most common circumference of 2 cm, thus, the same circumference will be favored after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection occurs when natural selection results in stabilization i.e. large number of individuals attain mean or average value for a particular trait. In this process, phenotypes of medium-sized individuals are favored through natural selection.

Since it is already mentioned that the mean circumference is 2 cm in the original population thus the same value will be expected after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

xxTIMURxx [149]

In <u>asexual </u>reproduction, genetically identical offspring are produced, while in <u>sexual </u>reproduction, offspring are genetically different from each other.

Sexual reproduction is a sort of reproduction that involves a complex existence cycle wherein a gamete (inclusive of a sperm or egg mobile) with an unmarried set of chromosomes (haploid) combines with another to provide a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid).

Sexual reproduction is the maximum common existence cycle in multicellular eukaryotes, which includes animals, fungi, and plants.

Asexual reproduction is a sort of reproduction that doesn't involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that get up by asexual reproduction from both unicellular and multicellular organisms inherit the whole set of genes in their single parent. Asexual reproduction is the number one shape of reproduction for single-celled organisms including archaea and bacteria.
