Question

graph 1
number per 1000 population
colour morph
a - light coloured morph
b - dark coloured morph
graph 2
number per 1000 population
colour morph
a. which colour morph had a selective advantage when the data for graph 1 were collected? explain.

• the dark coloured morph -

Explanation:

In Graph 1, the dark - coloured morph has a higher number in the population compared to the light - coloured morph. This indicates that the dark - coloured morph was more successful in survival and reproduction, suggesting it had a selective advantage.

Answer:

The dark - coloured morph had a selective advantage when the data for Graph 1 were collected because it had a higher number in the population.
