Answer:

The natural selection on polygenic traits affects selection.

Explanation:

The natural selection process allows changes in frequencies of alleles in a character that is determined by single gene. The polygenic characteristics are disproportionately affected by natural selection as natural selection affect the phenotype distribution.

This occurs in three ways that are disruptive selection, stabilizing and directional selection.

A farmer notices that the corn in her fields is growing slowly. So she adds twice the normal amount of fertilizer to each field.

Vikentia [17]

<h2>The correct answer is: Eutrophication.</h2>

Explanation:

Fertilizers are inorganic o organic nutrients highly rich in elements like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus which are essential for the growth of plants.
The application of excess fertilizers in the soil causes the surface run off as well as leaching of these nutrients into the soil from where it is gradually transferred into the nearby water bodies, in this case the lake adjacent to the farmer's property.
In the lake, these nutrients promotes the growth of plants like algae.
The excessive growth of algae in the lake disturbs he ecological balance of the lake and causes a dearth of oxygen in it. This phenomenon is said to be called Eutrophication.
The reduction in the level of oxygen in the lake causes the animals, like fishes, in it to gradually die.
