If the temperatures in the Sierra Nevada Mountains continue to **increase**, the frequency of the Pgi-4 allele is expected to increase as a result of **natural selection**.
I think this is because warmer temperatures may favor individuals with the Pgi-4 allele, which could be associated with better metabolic efficiency or adaptation to higher temperatures. As these individuals have a survival advantage in the changing climate, they are more likely to reproduce and pass on the Pgi-4 allele to future generations, leading to an increase in its frequency within the population.
