Answer:

Over subsequent generations will have more and more darker red beans and the population will, therefore, evolve towards higher dark red color allelic frequencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, more light red beans are eaten everyday compared to dark red beans. Therefore there are higher chances of dark red beans reaching reproductive age than light red beans. Consequnetly, dark red beans are more likely to pass down their genes to next generation than light red beans.
