Answer: Directional Selection.

Explanation:

This process can be defined as the positive selection in which one phenotype is selected over the other phenotype, causing the allele frequency to shift towards the other phenotype.

The allele favored by directional selection is advantageous. There is a increase in the rate of reproduction and chances of survival.

Here, the population of rabbits are decreasing in size over a period of time because they adapted the burrows to live in. Gradually small size of the rabbits were favored.

This is an example of directional selection.

In order for mutation to occur to form methionine codon from an isoleucine codon, position 3 must be changed to a G, giving AUG. A secind mutation would then be required at a second site in the AUG codon. since the isoleucine codons, AUA, AUC and AUU does not have a G at position 3, a true reversion can't occur without mutating the position 3 again.
