Urgent A team of scientists is studying a population of lizards. The team reports that very short lizards tend to be caught and eaten, while very long lizards tend
to become weak and listless when they cannot find enough food. Medium-length lizards have neither of these problems, and they tend to live longer
and remain healthier than the shorter and longer lizards
Which prediction about the lizard population is most strongly supported by the scientists' report? Assume that body length in lizards is inherited as a
polygenic trait
O
А
The population will experience stabilizing selection, but a variety of lizard lengths will still appear in the population
B
The population will experience stabilizing selection, and eventually all the lizards will be medium length
C. The population will experience directional selection, causing medium-length lizards to become more common
D. The population will experience disruptive selection, causing medium-length lizards to become more common
