Robins typically lay fours eggs. If more then four eggs are produced then the baby chicks are malnourished while smaller egg numbers result in no viable (able to live) baby chicks. This is an example of

• disruptive
• direction
• none of the above

Scientists find that most feral cats in a neighborhood have whiskers about 12 cm long. After about 15 generations of stabilizing selection, what would you expect to see?

• even more cats with 12 cm long whiskers
• most cats with less than 12 cm long whiskers
• most cats with more than 12 cm long whiskers
• most cats with whiskers either less than or more than 12 cm long, very few with whiskers 12 cms
