Flycatcher birds that migrate from Africa to Europe feed their nestlings mostly with moth caterpillars. The data presented show the mean dates of egg laying, hatching, and fledging of flycatcher young, and the 1980 and 2000 peak mass of caterpillars.

The most likely cause for the shift in caterpillar peak mass is

Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder. X+ chromosome carry a normal allele but Xc chromosome carries defective allele. When frequency of colorblindness female (0.10), colorblind male (0.30) and heterozygous female (0.20). Random matting population, what will be frequency of carrier female?
