This graph is an example of

• Natural Selection

• Disruptive Selection

• Directional Selection

• Stabilizing Selection

In a population of mice in the desert there are mice with white fur, tan fur, and dark brown fur. After the summer mostly tan mice remain due to their ability to camouflage into the surrounding sand.

This is an example of which type of selection?

• Disruptive Selection

• Directional Selection

• Stabilizing Selection

• Artificial Selection
