Question

question 9 of 10
which situation is most likely a result of disruptive selection in a population?
a. most birds lay fewer eggs after an environmental change.
b. most kittens are born at an intermediate weight.
c. most limpet shells are dark or light in color and not an
intermediate shade.
d. most golden retrievers are of an average height.

Explanation:

Disruptive selection favors extreme traits over intermediate ones. In option C, dark or light shell colors (extremes) are favored instead of an intermediate shade, which aligns with the concept of disruptive selection. Options A, B, and D do not show a preference for extreme traits.

Answer:

C. Most limpet shells are dark or light in color and not an intermediate shade.
