An animated bowl of fruit demonstrates D3’s general update pattern, showing five fruits that disappear or change type over time. The SVG visualization uses a single reusable `fruitBowl` function, which binds data arrays to `g` groups via `selection.data()`, then handles enter, update, and exit selections with `enter().append()`, `merge()`, and `exit().remove()`. Fruit appearance relies on `scaleOrdinal` color and radius scales, while timed `setTimeout` calls trigger data mutations—removing apples or replacing one with a lemon—to illustrate smooth transitions in the rendered circles and labels.
