This makes it slightly harder for the lighter fish to escape detection by predators, but most light-colored fish live long enough to reproduce.

( 1 point) The fish experienced an evolutionary change because of natural selection. The fish survived because of an inheritable advantage. The fish survived because of a non-genetic advantage. The fish experienced an evolutionary change because of genetic drift.
