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