Five apples appear in a bowl, one disappears, an apple changes into a lemon, and another apple vanishes. The D3 v5 code demonstrates special cases of the general update pattern, using `selection.enter`, `selection.merge`, and `selection.exit` with `transition` to animate the fruit changes. The example uses ordinal scales for color and radius, SVG circles and rectangles, and JavaScript's `Math.random` for fruit IDs.
