Answer:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which organisms with extreme values of the traits are favored and selected over the organisms with intermediate traits.

It results in an increase of variance in a population.

Thus, the organisms which have extreme traits tend to survive and reproduce more in a population.

It leads to an increase in the frequency of extreme traits in a population.
