Researchers plotted a distribution curve for leg length in a population of birds, with length from short to long on the x-axis. The curve shifts to the right after a disturbance. Which statement is correct about natural selection in this population of birds?(1 point)
Responses
Birds with long legs and birds with short legs were selected for.
Birds with long legs and birds with short legs were selected for.
Birds with medium-length legs were selected for.
Birds with medium-length legs were selected for.
Birds with short legs were selected for.
Birds with short legs were selected for.
No, I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct statement would be "Birds with medium-length legs were selected for."
Are you sure
I apologize for any confusion. Without further information, it is not possible to determine with certainty which statement is correct about natural selection in this population of birds. The shift in the distribution curve could indicate a change in selection pressures, but it is not clear whether birds with long legs, birds with short legs, or birds with medium-length legs were favored. It would depend on the specific circumstances and the traits that provided a selective advantage in that particular population.
