A  plant species arrives at  an  island  for the first time, where it  is  exposed to  a  new set of  pollinators.  Over the course of 20 generations, the characteristics of its flowers change. The figures above show the frequency distribution of petal length in the original colonizing population (Figure 1) and 20 generations later (Figure 2). Which of these explanations is consistent with the observed change in petal length?
