Question
the allele frequencies of the mouse population in the picture are changing over time. which is true? the population is not evolving. the population will go extinct. the population is evolving. the population’s genetic variation is increasing.
Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies in a population over time. Since the allele frequencies of the mouse population are changing, this means the population is evolving. The first option is incorrect because allele frequency change indicates evolution. The second option is not supported as allele frequency change doesn't imply extinction. The fourth option is not necessarily true—allele frequency change can increase or decrease genetic variation, but the key point here is evolution due to allele frequency change.
