Disclaimer: " According to the bartleby guidelines, only three questions are to be answered. Please ask remaining questions separately."The natural selection is the nonrandom process, which favors individuals whose heritable phenotypic traits have a high rate of reproductive success. It is divided into three, directional, stabilizing, and disruptive depending on the favored phenotype in the population. When one extreme phenotype is favored, the selection is directional. When an intermediate phenotype is favored the selection is stabilizing and when extreme phenotypes are favored in the population the selection is disruptive. Correct answer: Directional selectionIn the given case, the selection is directional selection because the beetles that emerge from hibernation too early are more favored and more likely to be killed by frost. This is because the beetles are exposed to cold temperatures and lack the necessary resource for their survival. Whereas, the beetles emerge too late and lack the chance to mate because the potential mates are longer available. Explanation of incorrect options:Stabilizing selection:This option is incorrect because, in stabilizing selection, the intermediate phenotypes are favored. In the given case, the stabilizing selection would favor the emergence of beetles at optimal times, leading to a reduction in variation. Disruptive selection:This option is incorrect because the disruptive selection favors the extreme phenotype over intermediate phenotypes. In the given case, the disruptive selection would result in higher fitness for the beetles emerging too early and too late rather than at the optimal time. Correct answer: Stabilizing selectionIn this case, the frogs with mating calls between 400 and 600 chirps per minute attract more mates suggesting that the frogs mate outside the range and have lower mating success. As, as result the population around the intermediate range of chirp stabilizes and against which extreme chirps rate are selected. Explanation of the incorrect options:Directional selection: This option is incorrect because there is no directional shift towards higher and lower chirp rates as the chirp rate of 400-600 per minute indicates lower mating success. Disruptive selection:This option is incorrect because the chirps rate is intermediate 400-600 with high mating success, so the disruptive selection is not possible. Correct answer: Directional selectionIn the given case, the plant leaves show directional selection because the average size of the plants in the rainforest would tend to increase as larger leaves are favored by natural selection. This increase in the size of plant leaves shows the directional selection. Explanation of the incorrect options:Stabilizing selection:This option is incorrect because in the given case, there is no optimal size of the plant leaves as in the stabilizing selection, instead the size of the leaf increases indicating the directional selection. Disruptive selection:This option is incorrect because in the given case, there is no extremely small and large leaf favored as in the disruptive selection, a) Directional selection.b) Stabilizing selection.c) Directional selection.
