Question

Hi I'm pretty sure this is D just want to make sure :)

A population of snails is experiencing disruptive selection in terms of their shell patterns.

Which statement about the population is most likely true?


Two different shell patterns are combining into one very common pattern.

Snails with two different shell patterns are surviving in greater numbers than snails with the most common shell pattern.

Snails with a new shell pattern are surviving in greater numbers than snails with all other shell patterns.

Snails with the most common shell pattern are surviving in greater numbers than snails with all other shell patterns.

Answer 1

Snails with the most common shell pattern are surviving in greater numbers than snails with all other shell patterns.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the natural selection process. The better adaption of the most common shell pattern makes it easier for the snails to survive the natural habitat.
