Directional Selection
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when environmental factors lead to a continual increase or decrease in the frequency of a particular trait within a population. This type of selection can lead to the evolution of a species over time by favoring individuals with the desired trait, who then pass on those traits to their offspring. This type of selection is important because it leads to the survival of the fittest and can result in the development of new species. It is an important force in the evolution of animal species and has been used to create new varieties of plants through selective breeding.
