A large sunflower population is established in a field. The flowers mate randomly, and all individuals are equally likely to survive and reproduce. In this population, 60% of the alleles of a gene for petal color are dominant and 40% of the alleles are recessive. Given this information, after many generations, which of the following options would be most likely?

a. The allele frequencies will be 100% dominant and 0% recessive.

b. The allele frequencies will be 80% dominant and 20% recessive.

c. The allele frequencies will be 60% dominant and 40% recessive.

d. There is no way to predict what the allele frequencies will be.
