Understand the concept of natural selection, which is a process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Identify the different types of natural selection: stabilizing, directional, and disruptive selection.
Stabilizing selection reduces variation by favoring the average phenotype and selecting against extreme phenotypes.
Directional selection shifts the population's phenotype by favoring one extreme phenotype over the other, reducing genetic variation.
Disruptive selection increases phenotypic and genetic variation by favoring extreme phenotypes at both ends of the spectrum, leading to a bimodal distribution of traits.
