Reаd eаch оf the fоur scenаriоs, and use the dropdown to select whether it represents an example of stabilizing, directional, or divergent selection. 1) Humans consistently select the largest apples from each tree and plant its seeds, resulting in the average size of apples getting larger each generation.  [selection1] 2)  A mutation causes some individuals in a plant species that normally produces red flowers to produce white flowers. The white flowered plants are only pollinated by moths at night, while the red flowered plants are only pollinated by butterflies during the daytime. [selection2] 3)  Rising sea level made two previously connected hills into two islands, one covered in dense forest vegetation and the other mostly dry and rocky. The ferns on each island are not able to disperse their spores to the other island. [selection3] 4) A moss species produces sporophytes of varying height.  The tallest ones always dry out killing the spores, while the shortest ones stay too moist and are rotted by fungus. Only the medium length ones successfully disperse their spores. [selection4]
