In a population of owl monkeys, allele T (TT and Tt) codes for tufted tails. The frequency of allele t (tt), which codes for nontufted tails, 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 decrease and the frequency of allele t would increase.
B. No changes would take place because the allele governing tufted tails is not dominant.
C. The frequencies for the two allele forms would equal out.
