Carlos is collecting data about the length of earthworms in his backyard. The shortest worm he found is 4 inches long; the longest worm is 8 inches long. If most of the worms are either short or long, which type of distribution is displayed in the population? directional disruptive stabilizing normal

Respuesta :

Disruptive would be the correct answer

Answer: Disruptive

Explanation:

  • Disruptive distribution is also known as diversifying distribution/selection.
  • It is a type of distribution in which the individuals with the extreme phenotypes are favoured over the ones with the average phenotypes.
  • Since, in the question the worms are either short or long (that is having extreme phenotypes) and lack the average phenotypes of being medium this is a disruptive distribution.
