Heterozygote Advantage Should Be Most Closely Linked to Which of the Following

Question

Heterozygote advantage should be most closely linked to which of the following?
A) sexual selection
B) stabilizing selection
C) random selection
D) directional selection
E) disruptive selection

Accepted Answer

Heterozygote advantage, also known as overdominance, occurs when the heterozygous genotype has a higher fitness than either of the two homozygous genotypes. This type of selection leads to a stable equilibrium and is therefore linked to stabilizing selection.
