In a population of mice, individuals with medium brown fur are less likely to be seen by predators than light brown and dark brown mice. What type of selection is this, and what would the distribution curve for the mouse population look like? (1 point)
This is an example of stabilizing selection, where individuals with an intermediate phenotype have a higher fitness compared to those with extreme phenotypes.
The distribution curve for the mouse population would peak at the medium brown fur color and taper off towards the light brown and dark brown ends, indicating a decrease in the frequency of individuals with lighter and darker fur colors.
