To use the Fundamental Theorem we plot
as a function of
(Figure 1). The Fundamental Theorem now tells
us that allele frequencies have to change from one generation to the
next in such a way that
, which can only happen if
. So viability selection will cause the frequency of the
allele to increase. Ultimately, the
population will be monomorphic for the homozygous genotype with the
highest fitness.14
