The individuals that survive and reproduce more successfully are those that have intermediate phenotypic values.
What is it called when evolution favors the extremes of a phenotype?The directional selection theory says that an extreme phenotype (characteristics or traits) is favored over other phenotypes and this causes the allele frequency (how often the variant of a gene shows up in a population) to shift over time in favor of the extreme phenotype.
