We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
Also, there is no table. You cannot copy and paste here.
ok I really need help on this I'm so stupid
Directions: Imagine you have a butterfly population that consists of red- and blue- winged butterflies. The butterfly population you produce will live in a heavily vegetated area with light green leaves and white flowers.
Suppose you are able to mate the individuals in your imaginary butterfly population. Your goal is to create a population of butterflies with high fitness.
1. What color do you want your butterflies to be? Explain your reasoning.
2. Choose two parents. Remember that blue-winged butterflies have the genotype BB, red-winged butterflies have the genotype bb, and the genotype Bb produces purple-winged butterflies. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring?
3. Now choose two of the offspring to mate. Continue choosing two offspring in each generation to mate for five generations. Fill in the table below.
Generation
Parent 1 Phenotype
Parent 1 Genotype
Parent 2 Phenotype
Parent 2 Genotype
Offspring Phenotype

4. Is this process natural selection or artificial selection? Why?
5. How might mutations help you produce butterflies of the desired color?
6. What if a mutation that makes the wing color in butterflies lighter appears in the population? How would that change your strategy for producing butterflies with the desired color?

7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to produce offspring with the desired color. To determine if an offspring carries a mutation, flip a coin. If the coin lands on heads, the offspring carries a mutation. If the coin lands on tails, the offspring will have its normal coloration. An offspring with one mutation will be light red, light blue, or light purple. If a mutated offspring is mated and its offspring develops a mutation, the offspring will be very light red, blue, or purple. If the offspring of a very light butterfly develops a mutation, it will turn white. Continue until a white offspring is produced or you fill the chart.

9. If your goal is to produce white butterflies, is it faster to wait for natural selection to take place or to use artificial selection? Why?
10.Compare and contrast natural selection and artificial selection.

Perhaps, you could say that red butterflies look poison, so the red butterflies succeed. Lady bugs, Monarch butterflies,Bees, and other creature sport bright colors to warn predators of the poison they carry. Some creatures even sport similar colors to these animals when they aren't poisonous or venomous to trick predators into thinking they are a dangerous species.
There is actually a type of bug, that make a rattle sound, like a rattle snake. If it senses a predator it rattles and the animal will quickly flee.
