What is the difference between directional selection and disruptive selection

Biology
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
8 0
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live". 
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."

If someone is a proven performance-enhancing drug user is eligible for the Hall of Fame in any of the major professional sports,
antiseptic1488 [7]
This is a issue of morality and ethics. So the answer to the first question depends on the perspective of the person. Personally I don't agree with performance enhancing drug use but I do think some of the expectations of athletes who perform in Olympic events increase the pressure to have to use them. So do I think people who use these drugs should be elected into the Hall of Fame. That is hard to answer. But I do not think using drugs takes away all of the achievement an athlete has made. It just proves that the athlete couldn't achieve the rigid sport performance without manipulation. But it doesn't mean they haven't worked hard or trained.

I do think rules should be made for athletes. These rules would definitely weave through most of the athletes we see doing these out of the world sport records every day. That is because many of them have been proven to have used these performance enhancing drugs.

Please vote my answer brainliest. thanks!
