Pretend you are a scientist observing three different varieties of a single bird species that are part of the same population. In three to five sentences, describe what genetic variations exist in your population. Then, using reasoning skills and mock evidence from your observations, describe the impact these traits have on the birds' relationships with their environment and predators.

In my population of birds, I have noticed that there are three different varieties: one with bright red feathers, one with blue feathers, and one with green feathers. I believe these variations in feather color are due to different genetic combinations within the population. The impact of these traits on the birds' relationships with their environment and predators is that the red birds may be more easily spotted by predators, the blue birds may blend in well with the sky, and the green birds may camouflage better in the trees.
