Illustration Description
The illustration is highlighting the different effects natural selection can have on populations. Different types of natural selection increase the genetic variation of a population by changing the number and frequency of alleles for a particular trait. Directional selection changes the average value of a trait and tends to reduce genetic diversity of a population. Disruptive selection favours the extreme values of a trait and tends to increase genetic diversity of a population.
