1. In directional selection the distribution of phenotypes forms a bell curve selection against one of the extreme phenotypes causes the distribution to move in one direction to the other. An example might be plants whose flower color is determined by incomplete form population the mean phenotype will be shifted toward white flowers. In disruptive selection the average phenotype is selected against the produces a two-humped bell type curve and the greater distribution is split between the two phenotype

Continuous evolution over many generations can result in the development of new varieties and species. Likewise, failure to evolve in response to environmental changes can, and often does, lead to extinction. When scientists speak of evolution as a theory they do not mean that it is a mere
