Natural selection can act on characters with quantitative variations and this can lead to the result depicted in the following graph.
The bold line shows the distribution of phenotypes in the population before selection and the broken line shows the effect of the selection. The changes in the phenotypic traits observed after selection represents
1. Directional selection
2. Stabilising selection
3. Balancing selection
4. Disruptive selection
