Summary

Description
English: The evolution of an allele that is deleterious is the normal environment (white) but advantageous in an alternate environment (grey). The bet hedging allele arises twice due to mutation, the first occurrence is lost before the environment changes, but the second mutant persists long enough due to drift for the environment to change, at which point it reaches fixation due to selection.
