Next, you'll build a simulation based on what you think will happen because of natural selection.
Here are two considerations:
Some individuals with harmful characteristics can still
successfully reproduce, but they have an overall lower
chance of doing so compared to organisms with neutral or
beneficial traits.
Natural selection may affect distribution of traits. It's
possible that harmful traits could eventually disappear
from the gene pool.
Don't worry about precise population numbers. Based on your
understanding of natural selection, you'll be modeling only one
scientifically plausible trend that can occur. There are several
correct variations of this diagram. You'll explain the justification
for your choices in part E.
Assume that these plants have a life expectancy of about one
year, but the rate of reproduction keeps their population
consistently around 2,500 organisms. Using the same elements
you used in part C, draw simulations for year 5 and year 10.
Clearly label each simulation.
