Question

a population of beetles changing from yellow to brown and surviving better is an example of
a) genes
b) mutations
c) natural selection
d) selective breeding

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully. In the case of the beetle population changing color and having better survival, it is due to environmental factors favoring the brown - colored beetles over the yellow ones. Mutations are changes in DNA, genes are units of heredity, and selective breeding is a human - controlled process. Here, the change is driven by nature.

Answer:

C. natural selection
