Over generations, female reindeer in a Finnish population give birth to larger offspring. Which type of selection is occurring, and how would a distribution curve for this trait change over time?
This type of selection is called directional selection. Over time, as female reindeer in a Finnish population give birth to larger offspring, the distribution curve for this trait would shift towards the right. This means that the frequency of larger offspring would increase, and the average size of the offspring would also increase.
