What is it that occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait
GPT 3.5
When natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait, it is known as directional selection. This occurs when individuals with the extreme variation of a trait have a higher fitness and are better able to survive and reproduce, leading to an increase in the frequency of that extreme trait in the population over time. This can result in evolutionary changes in the population towards that extreme trait as it becomes more adaptive in a particular environment.
