| 1. | Purifying / stabilizing selection is not the sole cause of stasis.
|
| 2. | The reason can be that methods for detecting stabilizing selection are complex.
|
| 3. | Inheritance alone is too imperfect to achieve a purifying and stabilizing selection.
|
| 4. | Stabilizing selection is the opposite of disruptive selection.
|
| 5. | For example, long-term stabilizing selection related to stable environments might cause stasis.
|
| 6. | Graph 2 depicts stabilizing selection, where the intermediate phenotype is favored over the extreme traits.
|
| 7. | Likewise, pleiotropic gene's stabilizing selection allows for the allele frequency to be altered.
|
| 8. | Stabilizing selection favors the middle phenotype, causing the decline in variation in a population over time.
|
| 9. | The stability is explained by the purifying / stabilizing selection of body plans and the constructional restictions.
|
| 10. | His work in evolutionary biology includes a theory for the origination of the " locked in " by stabilizing selection.
