In a species,the weight of newborn ranges from 2 to 5 kg. 97% of the newborn with an average reight between 3 to 3.3 kg survive whereas 99% of the infants born with weight from 2 to 2.5 kg or 4.5 to 5 kg die.Which type of selection process is taking place ?
- Option 1)
Directional Selection
- Option 2)
Stabilizing Selection
- Option 3)
Disruptive Solution
- Option 4)

Answers (4)
Directional selection
2 )stabilizing selection will be the correct answer as in this case the mid characters are favoured not the extremes
Option 2
