Compare and contrast stabilizing directional and disruptive selection?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Stabilizing selection is where a population is favored by just the right amount of a certain trait, and if they don't have the right amount of that certain trait then they die.
Example: Human babies and birth weight, if the baby is too small, i gets sick. If the baby is too big, it cannot get through the pelvis; but just the right weight and it will come out lively and well.
Disruptive selection is when an animal has to fit in with its environment; I.E., camouflage.

∙ 10y agoIn population genetics, directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which a single phenotype is favored, causing the allele frequency to continuously shift in one direction. With stabilizing selection genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value. Diversifying selection describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.

∙ 10y agoI'm not sure what "stabilizing directional" selection is, but if you get out a bell curve graph...
Stabilizing selection tends to select for individuals around the average, or mean, of a population, which technically makes the curve steeper. Directional selection shifts the average in one direction (shifts the whole curve in one direction). Disruptive selection creates two new averages, which means it splits the one curve into two, smaller, separate curves.

What is nondirectional hypothesis?
A non-directional hypothesis only proposes a relationship. In contrast, a directional hypothesis also proposes a direction in the relationship. For example, when one variable increases, the other will decrease.

Compare and contrast natural selection and artificial selection?
Natural selection is when contemporary species rose from ancestors that survived due to their physical characteristics in their habitats. A well-known example is the Galapagos Islands and how the animals on the islands adapted to their environments. Darwin convinced the biology world that diversity in organisms came from evolution (descent without modification). Artificial selection is when humans intentionally breed animals for certain traits. Unlike natural selection, where only the fittest survive, artificial selection is for human's likings. Many crops that are grown are part of artificial selection.
Compare and contrast natural selection and evolution?
Natural selection is the most powerful driver of evolution and it is the only mechanism of evolution ( genetic drift and gene flow are two other mechanisms ) that leads to adaptive change. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of of randomly varying organisms. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
What is the meaning of conometer?
A Conometer is a simple device for measuring the variation of luminance of an electronic display (e.g. LCD screen) with viewing direction within a certain viewing cone. From two directional distributions of luminance (e.g. black, white) the corresponding contrast can be evaluated.
Is it in Contrast with or in contrast to?
Normally it is "in contrast with..." But "to" is used when the difference is being emphasized.
