| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sexual Selection | Individuals with certain inherited traits are more likely to be mated with than others |
| Artificial Selection | Breeding of domestic plants or animals in a lab |
| Directional Selection (Frequency-Dependent Selection) | One end of the phenotype survive more than members of the other phenotype |
| Stabilizing Selection | Individuals with intermediate phenotypes survive more successfully than members of either extreme |
| Disruptive Selection | Both individuals of each extreme survive to reproduce |
