Answer:

Median height is selected

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a particular type of natural selection where the mean of the trait in the population stabilizes on non-extreme phenotypes, thereby favoring intermediate phenotypic variants. At genetic level, stabilizing selection is shaped by selective forces that push the distribution of the trait in the population toward the average (median trait), it is a condition that may happen when a population is completely adapted to its environment. Thus, stabilizing selection acts to purge the extreme phenotypic variants via purifying selection. Stabilizing selection is considered to be one of the most important mechanisms controlling the distribution of different phenotypes after many cycles of artificial selection, it s for that reason that breeders believe that this type of natural selection is the most common in nature.

Why are a plant's Stomata generally open during the day and closed at night?
coldgirl [10]
Plants' stomata refers to the small pores that are found on plants' tissues and leaves. They possess the ability to open and close and thus they regulate water and gases exchange in plants. Green plants have the ability to produce their own food by using the energy from the sun;the process is called photosynthesis. During the day, when there is sunshine, the plants' stomata are always open in order to trap energy from the sun for photosynthesis. The stomata also allow carbon dioxide and oxygen gases to diffuse in and out of the leaves' cells.  The stomata usually closes at night in order to prevent excessive water loss.
