And a population of birds brightly colored mills, and very dull mills, survive best what type of selection is this and what is most likely true about the proportion of males of intermediate colors
A) directional; males of intermediate color, make up a small part of population
B) disruptive; males of intermediate color, make up small part of the population
C) directional; mills of intermediate color, make up the greatest part of the population
D) stabilizing of intermediate coloring, make up the greatest part of the population
B) disruptive; males of intermediate color, make up a small part of the population
In disruptive selection, individuals with extreme traits are favored over those with intermediate traits. In this scenario, the brightly colored and very dull mills are thriving, while the males of intermediate color are not as successful. Therefore, it is likely that males of intermediate color make up a small part of the population.
