Question

The natural selection that acts against change in the form and keeps the population constant through the time is

  1. Directional  
  2. Disruptive  
  3. Not acting  
  4. Stabilizing  

The correct answer is: Stabilizing


    Stabilizing selection acts in the absence of large scale environment change, therefore, it keeps a population genetically constant.
