Which of the following can result in a population looking more similar over time and can be described as selection against both extremes of a trait?
directional selection
stabilizing selection
disruptive selection
species selection

b. stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a from of natural selection that selects against the two extreme ends of a phenotypic trait while favoring the intermediate phenotypes.Stabilizing selection is the opposite of disruptive or diversifying selection that favors the extreme forms of a trait.For example, if a plant inhabits an area with low sunlight and high wind speeds, short plants will not be able to compete for sunlight. Whereas, extremely tall plants may receive mechanical damage from the wind speeds.

Leaves specifically the gas exchange between plants and the environment. while plants undergo photosynthesis, they also partake in cellular respiration. respiration is the process that happens in the leaves of plants.
