Question

Responses

stabilizing selection; the curve would become shorter in the middle
stabilizing selection; the curve would become shorter in the middle

directional selection; the curve would shift to the left

directional selection; the curve would shift to the right

Answer 1

directional selection; the curve would shift to the right

This is because the trait of giving birth to larger offspring is being favored and becoming more common in the population over time, causing the curve to shift towards larger sizes.
