Which situation is an example of diversifying selection? which situation is an example of diversifying selection? a population of moths with white and grey forms lives in a forest containing trees with light and dark bark. wild cat populations gradually develop spots that allow them to be camouflaged in the dark forest. because bees prefer dark blue flowers, this color gradually becomes more dominant in a population of plants with a color ranging from light blue to dark blue. a population of plants develops all orange fruit instead of a mixture of yellow, red, and orange fruit, due to animals showing a preference for orange fruit?
