Summary Introduction

To analyze:

What is expected to happen to a trait that increases an individual’s reproductive success relative to that of other individuals?

Evolution is a process by which an organism gets better adapted to the changed environment as the nature supports survival of the fittest. Hence it is always a race among the organisms that are able to increase their reproductive capacity.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If a trait is intended to increase the reproductive success of an individual, the allelic frequency of that trait will increase while diminishing the frequency of other individual as evolution is the change in allelic frequency in order to support the survival of the fittest.

Conclusion

Hence, it may be concluded that, if a trait increases the reproductive success of an individual, the allelic frequency of that trait increases.
