Question

Imagine two alleles at a given gene that codes for flower color. Allele A produces red
flowers and allele a produces white flowers. Heterozygous individuals are pink. Now
imagine an environmental circumstance that favors the reproduction of pink organisms (heterozygous) at the expense of the reproduction of red or white organisms (both homozygous): those that are pink mate and reproduce twice as often as those that are red or white. What would this scenario do to the frequency of white alleles under a model of blending inheritance? Under a model of mendelian inheritance?

Explanation / Answer

This would decrease the frequency of the white alleles under a model of Mendelian inheritance. And, this would make the frequency stable under a model of blending inheritance.
