Explanation / Answer

Question 11: After several generations, in a population under stabilizing selection, what are the typical consequences to the phenotype of bird beak depth?

Answer: b. Mean beak depth changes, and the variance increases.

Beak depth is highly heritable, natural selection cause to rapid evolution of beak size.
