5. Recombination forms new combinations of alleles and usually occurs during __________.

a. Mitosis

b. Replication

c. Synthesis

d. Meiosis

Part-II.
Q.2: Write short answers for the following questions. ( /5)

1. What is shown in a phenotypic distribution?

1 phenotypic distribution. graph that shows the frequency of each phenotype for a

trait in a population.

2. In what type of situation does a phenotypic distribution look like a

bell-shaped curve?
2 An intermediate phenotype is favored and becomes more common.

3. What is a normal distribution?

nd the yellow histogram shows some data that follows it closely, but not
perfectly (which is usual). 

4. Name the three ways in which natural selection can change the distribution of a trait.
directional selection, stabilizing selection, or disruptive selection.
5. What is a Directional selection?
Each type of selection contains the same principles, but is slightly different.

Common core Standard:

NGSS: HS-LS3.B.2

Disruptive selection favors both extreme phenotypes, different from one

extreme in directional selection. Stabilizing selection favors the middle
phenotype, causing the decline in variation in a population over time.
