Over generations, female reindeer in a Finnish population give birth to larger offspring. Which type of selection is occurring, and how would a distribution curve for this trait change over time?(1 point) Responses directional selection; the curve would shift to the right directional selection; the curve would shift to the right directional selection; the curve would shift to the left directional selection; the curve would shift to the left stabilizing selection; the curve would become taller in the middle stabilizing selection; the curve would become taller in the middle stabilizing selection; the curve would become shorter in the middle

The type of selection occurring in this scenario is directional selection, as larger offspring are favored over generations. As a result, the distribution curve for offspring size would change over time by shifting to the right, indicating that larger sizes become more common in the population.
So the correct response is: directional selection; the curve would shift to the right.
