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.

explain the relationship between cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in one complete paragraph please
Margarita [4]
Many cells working together forms a tissue.  Many tissues working together forms organs. Many organs working together forms organ systems.  So it goes from general to most specific.  Organ systems are needed in order for life.  This proves that cells are the most basic units of life.
