In peppered moth populations, light and dark moths are selected for in different environments. Which type of selection is this, and what would a distribution curve for all peppered moths look like? (1 point)
• stabilizing selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
• disruptive selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
• stabilizing selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle
• disruptive selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle

The type of selection described is disruptive selection and the distribution curve for all peppered moths would have two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle.
