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?(1 point)
Responses
directional selection; the curve would shift to the left

This is because larger offspring have a higher chance of survival and reproductive success in this population, leading to an increase in their frequency over time. The distribution curve for this trait would shift to the right, indicating an increase in the average size of offspring being born.
