Yeah trying to figure out on a graph is the tough part, I can kind of better answer the portion about what I would do to test my theory but I just need help in knowing what evolution is taking place. After reading into it some more I think adaptive substitutions, neutral substitutions, balanced polymorphisms, and purifying selection are the main ones to use.
I already solved the first 2 sites kinda feel good about them but need help on the other 4.
In site 1 we see polymorphism I think that's kinda obv:
In site 2 I think its purifying selection cos we don't see polymorphism and we know that purifying selection kind of removes deleterious mutations:
I think now that I know what polymorphism looks like and what purifying selection looks like I just gotta choose between neutral or adaptive selection.
Site 3 doesn't it kind of look like convergent evolution which is also know as adaptive evolution?
Site 4 I think kind of similar to site 2, we see purifying selection here as well?
Site 5 I think this one is kind similar to site 1 and also general polymorphic?
Site 6 I think also purifying selection?

I don't know it looks like they are either polymorphic or all the same, with one example of adaptive evolution, but I didn't even use neutral selection so I'm prob wrong on all haha
For sure I'm unsure on site 3.
