In a certain population disbusive selection is occurring in this population which is most likely to survive? Is the answer organisms with extreme traits?
In a population undergoing disruptive selection, organisms with extreme traits on both ends of the spectrum are more likely to survive and reproduce successfully. Disruptive selection typically favors individuals with extreme phenotypic traits at the expense of those with more average or intermediate traits. This can lead to the splitting of a population into two or more distinct groups over time, each adapted to different ecological niches or circumstances.
