Answer:

The correct answer is A. stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is one type of natural selection that occurs when the population having non-extreme traits are stabilized. It results in overexpression of a particular trait in a population. Here most average individual gets selected.

So as the stabilizing selection favors the middle phenotype and not extreme phenotypes it decrease the genetic variation. So here individuals who are having extremely long snout are selected therefore a particular trait is selected and overexpressed in the population. So it is an example of stabilizing selection.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Because DNA molecules are extremely long.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of only four types of nucleotides that are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These four types of nucleotide encode all the information necessary for the formation and working of the entire organism because each DNA strand is as long as 2 meter which contains millions of base pairs.

The four nucleotides are arranged in the DNA strand with many different combinations which results in the formation of codons sequence that contains all the information about the cell. This long DNA is compressed several times to fit in the nucleus.
