The graph shows the frequency of two traits, 1 and 2, in a population.
Part A: Use information from the circle graph to infer which trait is most likely favored by natural selection.
Part B: Explain how natural selection could lead to the trait distribution shown in the circle graph.
Part C: Scientists predict that over time 0% of the population will have trait 2. Explain why this change in trait distribution could result in negative consequences for the population.
