Question

multiple choice 2 points some rattlesnakes in a population have markings that help the snakes hide. the snakes with these markings catch more prey, live longer, and have more offspring than the other snakes. what does the theory of natural selection predict about this population? it will not change. it will become extinct. over time, more members will have the useful markings. over time, fewer members will have the useful markings.

Explanation:

Natural selection states that traits that improve survival and reproduction (like these hiding markings that help snakes catch prey, live longer, and have more offspring) will become more common in a population over time, as individuals with the trait pass it to more offspring.

Answer:

Over time, more members will have the useful markings.
