Answer:

A) Natural selection favouring the recessive phenotype in the Alaskan populatrion.

Explanation:

  • Natural selection allows only fitter traits to survive.
  • Natural selection can change the frequency of alleles in a population.
  • The natural selection will favor the allele which will have fitness greater and its frequency will gradually increase while the allele which will have  lower fitness will gradually decrease in population.
  • Here the recessive allele e must have a greater fitness so, natural selection favoured it resulting in its increased frequency.
