The graph below depicts the change in frequency for an advantageous allele in two different populations, both of infinite size. The strength of selection is the same in both populations. The graph below depicts the change in frequency for an advantageous allele in two different populations, both of infinite size. The strength of selection is the same in both populations.   (a) What type of allele is this? Explain how you know. (b) Why does the frequency of the allele in one of the populations rise faster than the frequency in the other population? (c) If given enough time, will the allele become fixed in each of these populations? (a) What type of allele is this? Explain how you know.
