Question
The following graph shows which type of natural selection?
- Stabilizing selection
- Disruptive selection
- Directional selection
- Genetic drift
Hint:
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favor of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait.
The correct answer is: Disruptive selection
In a disruptive selection, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle.
Hence, the graph shows a Disruptive Selection.

Identify the type of natural selection:
Small sized turtles are very weak in order to protect themselves from predators and larger turtles are very slow so as to escape from predators. Average-sized turtles have the highest fitness in this population.
