In order to determine which type of natural selection is represented in the graph, we need a description of the graph or the characteristics it displays. However, I can provide you with a brief explanation of each type of selection:
1. **Directional Selection**: This occurs when individuals at one extreme of a trait distribution have higher fitness, causing the average trait value to shift in one direction.
2. **Stabilizing Selection**: This type of selection favors the average individuals in a population, reducing variation and ensuring that traits close to the mean are more likely to survive and reproduce.
3. **Disruptive Selection**: This occurs when individuals at both extremes of a trait distribution have higher fitness than those with intermediate traits, potentially leading to two distinct phenotypes.
If you could provide details about the graph, I can help you identify the type of selection it represents!
