What do stabilizing selection and disruptive selection have in common? ?

Variation

Explanation:

In natural selection, variation happens to produce more fit organisms. The natural selection is a different type such as stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection. In both cases, variation occurs but the variation rate is different.  Therefore, the common thing between stabilizing selection and disruptive selection is variation. The variation rate is slow in stabilizing selection. Hence in this selection less phenotype characters are seen. In disruptive selection, variation is random and extreme. Thus more phenotype individuals are formed due to disruptive selection.

answer: c.

explanation:

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
