Answer:
Graph A: Directional Selection
Graph B: Stabilizing Selection
Graph C: Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Natural selection as a driving force of evolution cam be defined as a process that a population of organisms undergo in other to become adapted to an environment and survive to produce offspring that are fitter.
Thus, the following graphs represents the three types of natural selection:
Graph A: Directional Selection
Directional selection occurs when one extreme trait is favoured over others by selective pressures.
The graph shows that only one extreme trait is favoured as the population that survives seem to have majorly a particular extreme trait.
Graph B: Stabilizing Selection
In this type of natural selection, neither of the extreme traits are favoured by selective pressures. Therefore, intermediate trait become favoured over the other extreme traits.
Graph C: Disruptive Selection
Selective pressures works against the intermediate trait while both extreme trait at the spectrum are well favoured, which become more established in a population against the intermediate trait.
