If color is an inherited trait in beetles, and birds are more likely to eat brown beetles than green beetles, a. the frequency of the green allele will increase. b. the frequencies of the brown and green alleles will not change. c. this causes the population to evolve due to genetic drift. d. the frequency of the brown allele will increase. e. this causes the population to evolve due to gene flow.

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
