Transcript text: The image depicts what mechanism of evolution?
Genotype with low reproductive success becomes less common.
Solution
The image depicts what mechanism of evolution?
Analyze the provided image and text.
The image shows a change in allele frequency over time. Initially, there are three alleles with frequencies of 0.45, 0.31, and 0.24. After an environmental change, the allele frequencies shift to 0.03, 0.44, and 0.53. The text explains that individuals with low reproductive success become less common due to the environmental change.
Identify the evolutionary mechanism.
The change in allele frequency due to differences in reproductive success caused by an environmental change is a description of natural selection.
