Question 8 (1 point)
You are studying selection at a locus that affects the ability of insect eggs to resist desiccation. There are currently 2 alleles at this locus in the population you are studying. You establish the relative fitness of the resulting genotypes to be: WAA = 0.85, WAa = 1, Waa = 0.9. If the current frequency of the A allele is 0.5, how do you expect it to change over time? [this is a conceptual question, no calculation needed]
Increase until it reaches 0.6
Increase until it reaches 0.85
Increase until it reaches 1
Decrease until it reaches 0.4
