A new mutation appears in the human population of an area with stable malaria. The new allele is dominant and provides 100% resistance to Plasmodium at low cost to the carrier. What are your expectation for this new allele? A. It will be selected against and eventually disappear B. It will slowly (thousands of generations) increase in frequency C. It will disappear as a result of genetic drift D. It will be selectively advantageous and spread rapidly
