natural selection can drive change in Allele frequency

Cards (7)

  • what is directional selection
    favors individuals at one end of the phenotypic range
  • what is the phenotypic range
    this is the range of phenotypes
  • what will directional selection result in
    a change in allele frequency in a population
  • what does a directional selection graph look like
  • what is stabilizing selection
    favors intermediate variants and acts against extreme phenotypes
  • what will stabilizing selection result in
    the prevention of change in Allele frequency and will lead to the stabilisation of the population
  • what does a stabilizing selection graph look like
