Question

in a population of beetles, some are green, some are brown, and some are mixed. if the beetles live in vegetation, the colored beetle is \least fit\ and least likely to survive in that habitat when birds come along looking for food. a brown b green c mixed some organisms have traits that help them survive in certain situations, while others of the same species do not. these differences happen by ____ due to genetic variation through sexual reproduction. a chance b planning

Explanation:

First Question (Beetle Survival):

In a vegetation habitat, green beetles would camouflage better, while brown beetles are more visible to birds. So brown beetles are least fit.

Genetic variation in sexual reproduction occurs randomly (by chance), not by planning (organisms don't plan traits). So the cause is chance.

Answer:

A. brown

Second Question (Genetic Variation Cause):
