Solution

  1. In the given question we will see that trait B will be seen earlier.
  2. This happens because, in the case of an asexually reproducing population, the organisms will be the exact copy of their parents.
  3. Now if there is a mutation just in the case of trait A as we see, it will take time to appear in the population.
  4. Trait B being the majority will appear first.
