A breeder selects only sheep with the finest wool fibers to reproduce. Fiber fineness is influenced by alleles W (finer) and w (coarser). At generation 0, f(W)=0.55f(W)=0.55. After repeated selection for fineness, f(W)=0.90f(W)=0.90 at generation 7. Which outcome is most likely in the population's phenotype distribution for fiber fineness at generation 7 compared with generation 0?
