In balancing selection, two or more alleles are kept in balance, and therefore are maintained in a population over the course of many generations. Which of the following example can support balancing natural selection?

A- Sickle cell allele kept in balance because heterozygotes have greater chance of survival if infected by the malarial parasite, compared with normal homozygotes

B. One morph has selective advantage over another morph

C. One homozygote has greater chance of survival than other genotype results in purity of population

D. many species of invertebrates exist as different colored forms, identical in all respects except color. Visually searching predators often develop a search image for one color form, usually the commoner

In community, two species A and B were found. A species have an especially large impact on the structure of entire communities because they are highly abundant while B species are not usually abundant in a community however; exert strong control on community structure by their pivotal ecological roles, or niches.
