After playing through the simulation for five generations, I observed the following patterns in the genotype populations over time:
1. Initially, there was a diverse range of genotypes present in the population.
2. Over time, certain genotypes became more dominant while others decreased in frequency.
3. There was a gradual decrease in the overall genetic diversity as specific genotypes increased in frequency.
4. Some genotypes appeared to be more resilient and able to survive and reproduce better than others.
5. The distribution of genotypes shifted over time, with certain genotypes becoming more prevalent in the population.
Overall, the data from the simulation suggest that natural selection and genetic drift play a significant role in shaping genotype populations over multiple generations. Certain genotypes may have a higher fitness and survival advantage, leading to their increased prevalence in the population over time.
