Suppose a mutation occurred in a fruit population which made the

fruit more delicious. What would happen to the frequency of this mutation in the

population? using evolution vocabulary

The mutation would occur more frequently within the population, increasing its presence.

Over time this becomes permanent within the population, and may achieve a frequency of 1 (the frequencies are between 0 and 1), as at 1, it becomes fixed.

Explanation:

Some novel characteristics are fixed within the community, as they impart beneficial adaptations to the individual within their community or environment.

Such modifications enable such individuals to live longer than their peers, and to mate to create more offspring over time, which also exhibit these traits. Delicious fruits are more likely to be eaten, which leads to more widespread seed dispersal and increases the probability of survival of the resulting offspring.
