Question

According to disruptive selection, individuals not favored are those that produce ________.

Answer 1

According to disruptive selection, individuals not favored are those that reproduce less and have middle-sized gametes, while organisms that are favored and have great traits reproduce more. Disruptive selection is also known as diversifying selection because this type of selection can divide populations of species. The organisms with weaker traits eventually separate with the organisms with stronger traits, and they may be diverse enough to form a separate species.
