B. Directional selection
C. Disruptive selection
D. Adaptive selection



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Disruptive selection leads to increased genetic variance by favoring extreme values over intermediate ones.


Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when a population experiences a shift in diversity towards the larger organisms. This type of selection favors extreme values for a trait over intermediate values, leading to the creation of two different populations. Genetic variance in a population increases with disruptive selection as different phenotypes are selected for, resulting in greater diversity.
