Vinil7 [7]

Disruptive selection or diversifying selection describes the changes in population genetics where extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.

So according to this definition, the conclusion can be derived as :

The most common circumference(s) to be after 10 generations of diversifying selection will be greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm.

Answer:

vestigial structures

Explanation:

A "vestigial structure" or "vestigial organ" are defined as the organs that no longer have any function in the organisms' body but had an important role in past.

<em>Pelvis and femur are thigh bones in humans which helps them in walking but in whale's pelvis and femur are considered as vestigial structures. </em>

The pelvis and femur in whales, are the inherited structure from ancestors and shows evidence for evolution on the basis of natural selection.

Hence, the correct answer is vestigial structures.
