Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for the decrease in genetic diversity due to stabilizing selection.
Introduction: The stabilizing selection can be defined as a type of natural selection in which statistical mean of a particular population stabilizes on a no-extreme value of trait. It is the most common mechanism of action of natural selection.
