Answer:

b) extreme

Explanation:

Disruptive Selection:

  • Disruptive or diversifying selection is a form of natural selection that favors phenotypes on the extreme ends of the trait/characteristic spectrum over intermediate phenotypes.
  • This occurs in environments where two extreme traits are the fittest to survive and successfully produce offspring.
  • London's peppered moths are one of the most prominent examples of disruptive selection. The rural environment favored moths with lighter colour but the darker coloured moths were easily spotted by predators.
  • On the other hand, industrial areas favored darker coloured moths as they could easily camouflage in the polluted surroundings. Here, the lighter moths were the ones to be easily spotted by predators.
  • However, moths of intermediate shades were easily spotted in both environments as they couldn't camouflage easily.

The gene that causes sickle-cell disease is present in a higher percentage of residents of sub-Saharan Africa than among those o
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Ans.

Sickle-cell disorder shows defected red blood cells, due to mutation in gene that code for hemoglobin. The mutated genes for sickle-cell disease are found in higher percentage of sub-Saharan African population as it provides protection against malaria as compared to population of United States.

Malaria is common in sub-Saharan Africa region and there, natural selection favored gene for sickle cells, because it might be beneficial to people having sickle cell disease that makes them able to survive in such condition and transmit their genes to offspring.

On the other hand, in those Africans, who moved to United States, where malaria is uncommon or absent, natural selection favored normal, wild type genes, resulting in fewer people with defected sickle cell.

Thus, the evolutionary process behind this is 'natural selection.'
