In a population of owl monkeys, allele T codes for tufted tails (TT and Tt). The

frequency of allele t, which codes for nontufted tails (tt), is 40 percent. If a new

predator starts catching the monkeys by their tufts and natural selection occurs,

which of the following would most likely happen over time?

A) The frequency of allele T would increase

B) The frequencies for the two allele forms would equal out.

C) The frequency of allele T would decrease and the frequency of allele t would

increase.

D) No changes would take place because the allele governing tufted tails is not

dominant.

    C) The frequency of allele T would decrease and the frequency of allele t would increase.

    Explanation:

    If the hunter is going after monkeys with tufted tails (TT), the tufted tail monkeys would die out from the new predator, letting the non-tufted tails (tt) increase in population.
