Question

In an ecosystem, there are two varieties within a species of toes, brown and green, over 50 years the proportion of population that is green increases 20% to 50%. What statement is most likely to explain this change.

Answer 1

One possible explanation for this change in the population could be that the green-toed individuals have a genetic advantage in terms of survival and reproduction in the ecosystem. This could be due to factors such as camouflage, predator avoidance, or increased access to resources. As a result, over time, the green-toed individuals are more successful in passing on their genes to the next generation, leading to an increase in the proportion of green-toed individuals in the population.
