Question

In a population of owl monkeys, allele T (TT and Tt) codes for tufted tails. The frequency of allele t (tt), which codes for nontufted tails, is 40 percent. If a new predator starts catching the monkeys by their tufts and natural selection occurs, which of the following would most likely happen over time?

Answer 1

The t allele will become more frequent. Because there will eventually be no T's to breed with.

Answer 2

More than likely, if natural selection occurs then, eventually, the monkeys will not have tufts do they can survive and not become an extinct species. I hope this helped you out a bit!
