If a distribution curve for a trait is affected by disruptive selection, **it shifts to the right and the left.** This type of selection occurs when individuals at both extremes of a trait distribution have a fitness advantage over individuals with intermediate traits, leading to a bimodal distribution where the population is divided into two distinct groups.
