Answer:

disruptive/diversifying selection  

Explanation:

Disruptive (also known as diversifying) selection is a type of natural selection where extreme phenotypic values are more favored rather than intermediate phenotypes. The disruptive selection favors the survivance and reproduction of organisms with extreme phenotypic traits, and in turn impairs the reproduction of organisms with intermediate traits, thereby changing the allele frequencies in the population in order to favor extreme values. An example of disruptive selection is the beak size of Galapagos finches, where extreme phenotypes of this trait have shown to be adaptive according to the type of food found in each island.

Answer:

Describe an example of the scientific method. Include any limitations this method has.
topjm [15]
Due to the need to have completely controlled experiments to test a hypothesis, science can not prove everything. For example, the scientific method cannot alone say that global warming is bad or harmful to the world, as it can only study the objective causes and consequences.
