In an insect species, survival in agricultural fields regularly sprayed with insecticide is ...

In an insect species, survival in agricultural fields regularly sprayed with insecticide is determined by the genotype for a detoxification enzyme encoded by a gene with two alleles, A and D. Which of the following statements is consistent with the data?

Genotype	Relative Fitness
AA	1.00
AD	0.70
DD	0.05

▸ This will likely lead to the frequency of the A allele being eliminated (f=0.0) and the D allele being fixed (f=1.0).

▸ Eventually, natural selection should lead to a balanced polymorphism.

▸ The D allele frequency will change faster as it gets less frequent.

▸ Both the A and D alleles should reach stable equilibrium frequencies that are maintained in a steady state.

▸ Directional selection will increase the frequency of the A allele at a pace determined by the intensity of natural selection.
