What has occurred when natural selection results in a shift toward the average of a range of genetic expressions for a particular trait?
A) stabilizing natural selection
B) directional natural selection
C) discontinuous natural selection
D) diversifying natural selection
Stabilizing Natural Selection
A form of natural selection that favors the average individuals in a population, thereby maintaining the population's genetic variance over time.
Genetic Expressions
The processes through which the information encoded in genes is used to produce functional products, like proteins.
Average
A numerical value representing the sum of a group of values divided by the number of values in the group, commonly used to describe the central tendency of a data set.
