Question

species of butterfly lives in a warm climate. The butterflies feed on the nectar of tropical flowers. Birds eat the butterflies, and they prefer to eat the butterflies with brighter wings. What would most likely cause this species to become extinct? a mutation resulting in darker wings a decrease in the birds that eat the butterflies the destruction of the butterflies’ environment overproduction of butterfly offspring

Answer 1

Answer: the destruction of the butterflies’ environment.

One of the things that could lead to extinction would be the destruction of the environment that the butterflies require. Many especies of animals go extinct because of this. The other possible options (darker wings, decrease in the number of birds, overproduction of offspring) are more likely to lead to an increase in the number of butterflies.

Answer 2

C. The destruction of the butterflies enviroment would be your best answer. Seeing as that species of betterfly is lives in a warm climate and which is obviously in a rain forest... if it was destroyed there would be no other place like their current home so the species of butterfly would die off.
