Question

in which type of selection does the environment favor traits on the extreme ends of the spectrum of phenotypes in a population?
○ stabilizing selection
○ disruptive or diversifying selection
○ directional selection
○ frequency - dependent selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection favors intermediate phenotypes, directional selection favors one extreme phenotype, frequency-dependent selection depends on trait frequency, while disruptive/diversifying selection favors both extreme ends of the phenotypic spectrum.

Answer:

disruptive or diversifying selection
