A population of beetles with two distinct phenotypes, green shelled
(dominant) and brown shelled (recessive), live in a group of trees on a
hill. In the spring, a virus infects the trees, causing their leaves to turn
brown earlier than normal each season for three consecutive
years.How will the allele frequency in this population change over
these three years?
