Terms in this set (10) Why do disruptive selection pressures tend to favor rapid evolutionary changes? a They result in sudden gene frequency changes b They eliminate extreme genetic traits c They select for one variation of a genetic trait d They result in environmental adaptation
- Why do disruptive selection pressures tend to favor rapid evolutionary . . .
Disruptive selection favors traits at both extremes, leading to sudden changes in gene frequencies This process increases genetic variation within a population and can eventually lead to the emergence of new species Thus, the correct answer is A: They result in sudden gene frequency changes
- Why do disruptive selection pressures tend to favor rapid evoluti . . .
Why do disruptive selection pressures tend to favor rapid evolutionary changes? They favor individuals with intermediate traits, reducing genetic variation and slowing evolution They cause populations to migrate to new environments, which is the primary driver of evolutionary change
- What Is Disruptive Selection and How Does It Drive Evolution?
Disruptive selection favors individuals with extreme forms of a trait over those with intermediate forms, driving evolutionary change in unique directions This process promotes divergence within a population rather than uniformity
- Solved: Why do disruptive selection pressures tend to favor rapid . . .
This type of selection can lead to rapid evolutionary changes because it encourages the divergence of populations, as individuals with extreme traits are more likely to survive and reproduce
- Disruptive selection and then what? - ScienceDirect
Disruptive selection occurs when extreme phenotypes have a fitness advantage over more intermediate phenotypes The phenomenon is particularly interesting when selection keeps a population in a disruptive regime
- Disruptive selection - Wikipedia
In evolutionary biology, disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values

Disruptive selection eliminates intermediate traits leading to selection at either extreme Directional selection, meanwhile, preferentially selects for individuals expressing the extreme trait
