Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change in curves on the graph represents a shift in the range of genetic variation in a population of mice. This means that there are changes in the frequency of alleles that exist within the population, indicating that the genetic makeup of the population as a whole has changed. It does not necessarily indicate a decrease or lack of genetic variation, or the appearance of a new allele for darker fur color, as those changes would be represented differently in the graph.
