Answer:

Organisms that have extreme traits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Disruptive selection is a specific type of natural selection that describes changes in population genetics. In disruptive selection, both extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values. As a result, the population is divided into two distinct groups and the variance of the trait increases.
