The answer is stabilizing selection. This type of natural selection in which the population mean stabilizes on a particular non-extreme trait value. This type of natural selection is the most widely seen in which there are no drastic changes in traits of the population in long times. Extreme traits of the population are weeded out hence the subsequent generations of the population have less diversity than the initial. The illustration below shows this model in relation to the others.

What would be the outcome of crossing two strains of wingless flies that belong to the same complementation group?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Wingless offspring

Explanation:

Complementation is the terminology used for finding difference in the mutation of same or different gene.  

Two groups with same complementation have failed to complement each other.  

Thus, two wingless flies will have the same genotype i.e “ww”

When two wingless flies are crossed following offspring are produced  

ww * ww  

ww, ww, ww, ww

All the offspring are wingless too
