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
stabilizing selection; the curve would become taller in the middle

This is because larger offspring are being favored over smaller ones, causing the average size of the offspring to increase over time. This would result in a shift to the right of the distribution curve, indicating that a higher proportion of offspring are larger in size.
