In a certain population disbusive selection is occurring in this population which is most likely to survive? Is the answer organisms with average traits?

Answer 1

No, organisms with average traits are not necessarily the most likely to survive in a situation of disruptive selection. Disruptive selection is when extreme variations of a trait are favored over intermediate variations, leading to a bimodal distribution of traits. In this case, the organisms with extreme traits, rather than the average traits, are more likely to survive and reproduce successfully.
