Answer:
C. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.
The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.
The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.
Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
The answer is ‘behavioral isolation’. It is a form of
sympatric speciation - which occurs even when
species live in the same habitat. In this case,
the individuals in the population are isolated by differences in mating and probably different mating rituals.
Answer: b
Explanation:
Dominant lethal alleles can be passed down if the individual can live to a reproductive age. The individual can then have children and can possibly pass down the lethal allele
