Millions of years ago, the ancestors of giraffes had short necks and used to eat leaves from the bushes on the ground. A genetic

mutation caused one giraffe's neck to be taller. This long-necked giraffe was able to eat leaves that were higher up on trees.

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype of a genetic trait due to its survival and reproductive advantage to the individuals over another extreme phenotype and the intermediate phenotype.

In the given example, the thick-leaved plants are better adapted to a drier climate due to reduced water loss. Directional selection favored the plants with thick leaves which in turn produced more progeny. Over the generations, the population evolved into the one having more number of thick-leaved plants.
