In a population of frogs, individuals with green coloration are camouflaged on leaves and are less ikely to be eaten by predators. However, as the number of green frogs increases, predators learn to search for them more effectively, making it advantageous to be a less common color. What type of Selection is occurring in this scenario? Disruptive selection Positive frequency-dependent selection Stabilizing selection Negative frequency-dependent selection O Directional selection

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
