It is an example of directional selection.

The different kinds of natural selection can influence the distribution of phenotypes within a population. In stabilizing selection, an average phenotype is preferred.

In directional selection, a modification in the surrounding changes the spectrum of the observed phenotypes, and in diversifying selection the extreme values for a trait are preferred over the transitional values. This kind of selection usually pushes speciation.

The directional selection, in the field of population genetics, refers to a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is preferred over other phenotypes, making the allele frequency to change with time in the orientation of that phenotype.

Echolocation is an adaptation bats use to _______. a. hunt insects in flight b. locate flowering plants c. find warm places for
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

The bats are the only mammals that have managed to perfect flight. They have managed to develop wings, but have started to have a nocturnal life, so in order to be more effective, they have developed their senses like the smell and hearing better, and also developed something new, echolocation. Because the eyesight was not really needed, the bats became almost blind, having very bad eyesight. The echolocation replaced their eyesight though, and it has proven as a very effective adaptation. It is an adaptation that manages to locate objects, food source, be it insects or flowering plants, as well as caves for shelter from predators and cold weather.
