Directional evolution
a
Directional.
Directional.
Selection process in natural selection are
$(i)$ Stabilizing Selection (Balancing selections) This type of selection favours average sized individuals, while eliminates small sized individuals. It reduces variation and hence, do not promote evolutionary changes. It maintains the mean value from generation to generation. If we draw a graphical curve of population, it is bell-shaped
$(ii)$ Directional Selection (Progressive Selection) In this selection, the population changes towards one particular direction. It means this type of selection favours small or large-sized individuals and more individuals of that type will be present in new generation. The mean size of the population changes
$(iii)$ Disruptive Selection (Diversifying selection) This type of selection favours both small-sized and large-sized individuals. It eliminates most of the members with mean expression, so as to produce two peaks in the distribution of the trait that may lead to the development of two different populations. This kind of selection is opposite of stabilizing selection and is rare nature but is very important in bringing about evolutionary changes
