Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

The process of natural selection selects a species in one of the three ways: stabilizing selection, directional selection and disruptive selection.

During the process of stabilizing selection, nature does not favour the extreme phenotypes of the population but the intermediate phenotype with the maximum number of population.

In the given question, the Robin laid four eggs, neither more than four nor less than four which could have more disadvantages than the advantages.  Since the intermediate number of eggs is favoured by nature therefore the stabilizing pattern is observed.

Thus, Stabilizing selection is correct.

The way you breathe and the way your heart beat changes when you run fast.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Your body sends a message to the lungs and tell the lungs to breathe in more oxygen so that the oxygenated blood can travel to the muscles oxygenating the cells within that specific muscle and giving them energy to use the sugars stored in fat or food from digestion. The heart beats faster so that the cells supply keeps up and continues to beat fast for that specific diration of time until your breathing slows down and it no longer needs to work as fast to supply the muscles with as much blood.
