An average number of eggs a bird lays is based on natural selection. If a bird lays too many eggs, there a high chance that she
will not be able to provide enough food for all of the offspring, so they could starve to death. If she lays too few eggs, there is a great chance a predator will eat all of the eggs. What type of natural selection is this illustrating? A. Stabilizing B. Disruptive Directional
Stabilizing selection is a kind of natural selection in which the mean of the population steadies on a specific non-extreme trait value. This is considered to be the most general process of action for natural selection as the majority of the traits do not seem to vary radically with time.
Stabilizing selection is the reverse of disruptive selection. In spite of preferring individuals with extreme phenotypes, it favors the transitional variants. Stabilizing selection seems to eradicate the more extreme phenotypes, resulting in the reproductive success of the average or norm phenotypes.
This signifies that the most general phenotype in the population is chosen and continues to govern in the coming generations. As the majority of the traits vary slightly with time, stabilizing selection is considered to be the most usual kind of selection in the majority of the populations.
In plant Carbon dioxide enters through Stomata and in stomata it diffuses over short distances through the intercellular process. it reaches the mesophyll cells. The other name of light independent phase is Calvin cycle whose name is in name of the person who discovered it. The light is not involved in this reaction so it is called light independent or dark cycle.
