Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.

What might occur when mitosis is not stopped or occurs quickly due to the presence of cancer.  
leva [86]
In a cell, there are several parts of it that are there to stop this from happening. Cancerous cells do not have the genetic code to stop growing and reproducing. A regular cell will actually destroy itself it there is a mutation. If it does not get destroyed, it could potentially be tumorous, then it could eventually be cancerous.
