In a population of deer there are two alleles, p and q. Individuals with allele p are faster than those with allele q and so are better at avoiding predation by wolves. Explain how natural selection will affect the characteristics of the deer population.

In the population, there is genetic variation with some individuals possessing allele p and some possessing allele q. Predation by wolves acts as a selection pressure on the genetic variation in the populati...
