The process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other areas of geography [habitats] is known as:
| 1. | Convergent evolution | 2. | Divergent evolution |
| 3. | Adaptive radiation | 4. | Artificial selection |
The natural selection operating as shown in the given figure is called as:
| 1. | Disruptive | |
| 2. | Directional | |
| 3. | Stabilizing | |
| 4. | Retrogressive |
Which of the following types of natural selection reduces variation but does not change the mean value?
| 1. | directional | 2. | stabilizing |
| 3. | disruptive | 4. | all of these |
The type of natural selection that operates to eliminate intermediate phenotypes in a population is known as:
| 1. | Directional selection | 2. | Disruptive selection |
| 3. | Stabilizing selection | 4. | Reverse selection |
| A | B | C | |
| 1. | Stabilising | Directional | Disruptive |
| 2. | Directional | Stabilising | Disruptive |
| 3. | Disruptive | Directional | Stabilising |
| 4. | Stabilising | Disruptive | Directional |
