A laboratory in British Columbia, the Kelatavicla lab, starts a mouse population where the frequency of the R allele is
0.5. You maintain this population for many years under the conditions found in column A. Given the information in the
table (column A) and the information above it, predict what you think will happen to the frequency of the R allele.
The frequency of the R allele will remain stable.
The frequency of the R allele will increase.
The frequency of the R allele will decrease.
