Evolution creates genetic variation in a population. b.) Fitness refers to an allele's ability to help the organism evade predators. c.) The process of natural selection may increase or decrease the frequency of a particular allele in the population depending on the environment. d.) A potato species acquires a mutation in its catalasegene that allows it to function in very cold environments. However, this catalaseis denatured at room temperature. This is a good example of fitness cost.arrow_forward
