In a population of owl monkeys, allele t codes for tufted tails ( tt and tt). the
frequency of allele t, which codes for nontufted tails (tt), is 40 percent. if a new
predator starts catching the monkeys by their tufts and natural selection occurs,
which of the following would most likely happen over time?
a) the frequency of allele t would increase
b) the frequencies for the two allele forms would equal out.
c) the frequency of allele t would decrease and the frequency of allele t would
increase.
d) no changes would take place because the allele governing tufted tails is not
dominant.

C) The frequency of allele T would decrease and the frequency of allele t would increase.

Explanation:

If the hunter is going after monkeys with tufted tails (TT), the tufted tail monkeys would die out from the new predator, letting the non-tufted tails (tt) increase in population.

C) The frequency of allele T would decrease and the frequency of allele t would increase.

Explanation:

Verified correct with test results.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
