The answer is (A) stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection favors the average in a population. In this case, babies that are born at a normal body weight, or an average between the two extremes of underweight and large, tend to have more favorable outcomes.
A biome is best described as a major type of ecosystem with SYSTEMS OF HABITATS HAVING DIFFERING CLIMATES.
hope this helped!
There are several ways selection can affect population variation:
stabilizing selection
directional selection
diversifying selection
frequency-dependent selection
sexual selection
As natural selection influences the allele frequencies in a population, individuals can either become more or less genetically similar and the phenotypes displayed can become more similar or more disparate. In the end, natural selection cannot produce perfect organisms from scratch, it can only generate populations that are better adapted to survive and successfully reproduce in their environments through the aforementioned selections.
Hope it helped, much love
