Imagine you are interested in studying evolution by natural selection (ENS) on a trait in a wild population. Which population BEST fulfills the three essential elements of ENS? A population of sunflowers with orange or yellow petals. Petal color is a genetically controlled trait. Sunflowers with yellow petals attract more pollinators than sunflowers with orange petals. A population of rabbits with only brown fur. Fur color is a heritable trait. Some individuals in the population are able to find more food than others. A population of grasshoppers that exhibits two types of wing color. Wing color is controlled by a single locus with two alleles. Individuals with different colored wings are equally likely to avoid predators and mate. A population of oak trees that varies in the number of branches per tree. Number of branches is determined by the amount of sunlight a tree has access to. Trees with more branches are more likely to survive the winter.
