Directional selection differs from stabilizing selection in that:

a.Directional selection favors one extreme phenotype, whereas stabilizing selection favors intermediate over extreme phenotypes

b.Directional selection requires new mutations whereas stabilizing selection uses existing variation

c. Directional selection operates only in small populations, whereas stabilizing selection only works in large populations

d. they both do nothing, these are terms I made up while writing this retake

Directional selection differs from stabilized selection in that it prioritizes one end of the phenotypic distribution, but stabilized selection prioritizes the middle over extreme phenotypes.

What is phenotype selection stabilization?

The stabilized choice is the opposite of a destructive choice. Prefer intermediate varieties rather than individuals with extreme phenotypes. Stabilization of choice tends to remove more serious phenotypes and results in reproductive success of standard or average phenotypes.

What is an example of a stabilization choice?

Stabilization of selection If the evolutionary pressure selects for two extremes of the trait, the population experiences stabilization of selection. For example, plant height can be affected by stabilizing choices. Plants that are too small may not be able to compete with other plants for sunlight.
