Multiple Choice
If finches with large beaks and finches with small beaks increase in a population while finches with average sized beaks decrease, which pattern of natural selection has occurred?
Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
30
Multiple Choice
Black-bellied seedcrackers have either small beaks (better for eating soft seeds) or large beaks (better for hard seeds). There are no seeds of intermediate hardness; therefore, which kind of selection acts on black-bellied seed crackers?
Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection

Multiple Choice
Small Aristelliger lizards have difficulty defending territories, but large lizards are more likely to be preyed upon by owls. This situation results in what kind of selection on adult body size?
Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
32
Multiple Choice
When a group of deer migrated to a cold mountain, the thin-furred deer and average-furred deer died. The thick-furred deer survived and eventually the population became thicker-furred.
Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
