Stabilizing selection
Explanation:
- Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection which favours the intermediate genotype and eliminates extreme genotypes (inferior and superior)
- Cardinals produce an average of six eggs in each clutch,here production of six eggs represents intermediate genotype
- Production of more than six eggs represents superior phenotype,this is not favored because parents in this case cannot adequately feed the young
- If there are fewer than six eggs then this represents inferior phenotype,where predators may destroy the entire clutch
