Respuesta :

Answer:

Natural selection causes evolution in the population of pea plants and leads to an increase in favorable adaptations.

Explanation:

The flowers will evolve to keep that purple trait in order to continue their population growth, hence why it is not individual evolution but as a population. Also since the purple color is a favorable trait it will lead to an increase in favorable adaptations and will decrease variation.
