Over generations, female reindeer in a Finnish population give birth to larger offspring. Which type of selection is occurring, and how would a distribution curve for this trait change over time?(1 point)

As female reindeer in a Finnish population give birth to larger offspring over generations, this indicates that there is directional selection occurring for larger size. As a result, the distribution curve for this trait would shift to the right as more individuals in the population exhibit larger sizes.
