Not all terms will be used. a. ______process in which organisms with extreme expressions of a trait are removed.b. ______process in which shift of a population toward an extreme version of a beneficial trait.c. ______process in which individuals with average traits are removed, creating two populations with extreme traits

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Stabilizing selection

2. Directional selection

3. Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process that is considered the mechanism of evolution. The natural selection selects the species in one of the three ways: directional, stabilizing and disruptive selection.

1. Stabilizing selection- occurs when nature favors the average phenotype of the species and the extreme phenotype of the traits is not favored.

2. Directional selection-takes place when one of the extreme traits of a population of a species favored the most and the allele frequency sifts to that direction.

3. Disruptive selection-occurs when both the extreme traits are favored by nature and the population evolves into two separate populations.
