Question

In an experiment, yellow caterpillars were painted green with non-toxic paint. Green caterpillars in a green environment are less likely to be seen and eaten by predators. The Offspring of the painted parents are yellow, just like their parents before they were painted. Which of the conditions of Natural Selection is not met here

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the answer would be Heredity.

Explanation:

In the experiment, they painted yellow caterpillars green and placed them in a green environment amongst naturally green caterpillars. However, the paint only camouflaged the caterpillars into the environment, not reset their genes. So, the offspring of yellow caterpillars would most likely come out yellow (or green if it's in their genes), resulting in the yellow caterpillar offspring to be picked off more easily than the offspring of the green caterpillars.

(if that was confusing i completely apologize ;-;)
