The answer is stabilizing selection.
<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>
Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss, disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.

Explanation:
Each box in the Punnet square should have BbEe in them. Yes, all of them contain this possible offspring genotype.
Explanation:
A mouse with black fur and one with white fur are being bred. Black fur is BBEE and white fur is bbee. Hence, when listing them on the Punnet square, the genotypes will be heterozygous, since there are possible traits of each fur color
Answer:
All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were located on different chromosomes.
Explanation:
Mendel's experiments with pea plants lead to two principles:
- Law of segregation which states that the pair of alleles (for any trait) of each parent separate, meaning that one allele passes from father and another from mother to an offspring.
- Law of independent assortment which states that different pairs of alleles (for different traits) are passed to offspring independently of each other (traits are located on different chromosomes).
The correct answer is A: adaptive radiation
