Stabilizing selection
Step-by-step explanation:
Stabilizing selection
is a type of
natural selection
which
favours the intermediate genotype and eliminates extreme genotypes (inferior and superior)
Cardinals produce
an average of six eggs in each clutch
,here production of six eggs
represents intermediate genotype
Production of more than six eggs represents superior phenotype,
this is not favored because parents in this case cannot adequately feed the young
If there are
fewer than six eggs then this represents inferior phenotype
,where predators may destroy the entire clutch
