Answer:

Directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which <u>a phenotype is favoured among other phenotypes </u>and therefore the population with the phenotype favoured increases over time to optimize their chances of survival.

This selection usually <u>requires a force in nature that causes a population to evolve towards one end of a trait spectrum.</u>

In this example, dark-colored moths are selected by predators because they stand out to predators against the light-colored foliage. Therefore, <u>this force in nature causes moths to change their phenotype and it shifts away from the dark-colored phenotype in order to increase their chances of survival so that predators do not predate them as easily because they won't stand out against the light-colored foliage.  </u>

<u />

Thus this is an example of directional selection.

Does beowulf giving in to the temptation of grendel's mother make him more or less of a hero
Rasek [7]
In my opinion, it does make him less of a hero. In the 2007 movie, Beowulf decides not to kill Grendel's mother, but is rather seduced by her beauty and offerings. In the poem, of course, he kills her, and protects the kingdom by being a hero. When he didn't kill her in the movie, he gave in to his lust and greed, which aren't really heroic qualities.
