Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection may be defined as the type of a natural selection where the genetic diversity decreases and the population mean stabilizes on the particular value. It occurs to the individual trait when an extreme of the trait are selected against.

In birds, the bright color males attract more mates for survival but they also attract more predators. Over generation, the highest frequency color is for the intermediate coloring males.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of a gene from each parent. This form received by each parent is called an ALLELE. An allele is the variant form of a gene for a particular trait.

For a diploid organism, two copies of genes (alleles) are acquired by an organism. The combination of these alleles from each parent determines the genotype for that gene.

In Mendel's experiments, he discovered that one allele can mask the expression of another for a trait. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these alleles, whether two dominant or two recessive called HOMOZYGOUS or one dominant and one recessive called HETEROZYGOUS, determines the phenotype of the organism for that gene.

N.B: There are exceptions to this pattern of inheritance.
