This model will simulate 4 generations of reproduction in a hypothetical population that includes individuals with varying phenotypes (here - colors). You will choose your three different phenotypes (colors) and one of two different backgrounds (white or multi-colored). You will then take on the role of predator and observe the changes in frequency of the various phenotypes after 4 generations. Students should think about the concepts of genetic drift and natural selection when undertaking this exercise.
