- not selected
Expert Solution & Answer
Trending nowThis is a popular solution!
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is not a characteristic of r-selected species.
O mature early
O mature late
O more offspring
O smaller offspring
Assortive mating generally leads to lower diversity because;
Assortive mating actually increases diversity
Individuals choose to mate with individuals who are dis-similar to themselves
Individuals choose to mate with other similar individuals
Individuals choose to mate later in life
Which is an example of disruptive selection?
Group of answer choices
Drug resistance increases with each generation; the resistant bacteria survive, and the nonresistant bacteria get killed off.
Swiss starlings usually lay four or five eggs, thereby increasing their chances of more offspring.
Over time, Equus developed strength, intelligence, speed and durable grinding teeth.
Panay island snails mainly have two different phenotypes, black and white shells.
