Question

if color is an inherited trait in beetles, and birds are more likely to eat brown beetles than green beetles, view available hint(s) the frequencies of the brown and green alleles will not change. the frequency of the green allele will increase. this causes the population to evolve due to genetic drift. the frequency of the brown allele will increase. this causes the population to evolve due to gene flow.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Birds eating more brown beetles create a selective pressure. Green - colored beetles have a survival advantage. Over time, natural selection (not gene flow or genetic drift as described in wrong options) will act. The frequency of the green allele (associated with the advantageous green color) will increase as green beetles are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Answer:

the frequency of the green allele will increase.
