Ascientist wrote a paper titled “directional selection in action” after observing a population of mice for 15 years. the mice typically preferred to eat berries, although a few would also eat insects. after a drought in year 3, the scientist observed that more mice were eating insects. by year 10, most of the mice in the population ate insects in addition to berries. which best describes her article? her title is accurate because two opposite extremes are favored. her title is accurate because one extreme is favored. she should change her title because she is observing stabilizing selection. she should change her title because selection cannot be observed.

the correct answer is this: her title is accurate because one extreme is favored.     @jayxboof

directional selection is a type of natural selection in which one extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotype; over a period of time, this situation causes the frequency alleles to move in the direction of the favored phenotype. in the question given above, it can be seen that, even though insects are not the favorite food of the mice, they were forced to feed on insects because of the drought situation and as time goes on, years later most of the mice end up feeding on insects.
