Q1
In a city park, a population of pigeons includes two alleles at a gene affecting beak depth: D (deeper) and d (shallower). After a shift in available food toward larger, harder seeds, researchers sample allele frequencies each breeding season for 5 seasons. Allele D increases from 0.33 to 0.58. Which observation best demonstrates continuing evolution in the pigeon population?
