Hi Answer:

Q. Imagine that individuals with a certain allele (B) have much greater reproductive success than those without the allele. However the individual with the allele also have shorter life spans than those without the allele. How would you predict the allele frequencies in the population will change through subsequent generations?

Answer: Option D (The B allele will become more common only if the individuals reach reproductive ages.)

Explanation: Because there is one condition given in the question that the individual with allele (B) has a shorter lifespan than the individual lacking allele (B ). So if anyhow individual having allele (B) cross the reproductive age then the B allele become common because this individual has high reproductive success. The barrier is only the short lifespan of B allele individual.
