The table shows the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles in three generations of peas in a garden.Allele Frequency for Flower Color in PeasGenerationpq10.60.420.70.330.80.2Which statement is a conclusion that may be drawn from the data in the table?
Answer
A
The population of pea plants in the garden is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
B
The population of pea plants in the garden is growing larger in each generation.
C
The decreasing frequency of white-flowered alleles shows that the population is drifting.
D
The increasing frequency of purple-flowered alleles shows that the population is evolving.
