Answer:

In the given population, epistasis or frequency-dependent selection would have been taking place. In frequency-dependent selection, selection of a genotype relies upon its frequency in population. It is further divided into two types, that is, positive and negative frequency-dependent selection.  

In negative frequency-dependent selection rare genotypes are selected, while in positive frequency-dependent selection more common genotypes are selected. The other possibility is epistasis, in which the fitness of genotypes relies upon the non-additive influences over the multiple loci.
