<span>Well, since there is little genetic variation, all the animals in the population are fairly similar, from a purely physical standpoint. Therefore, if there was some new form of whale lice that kills northern right whales, then presumably at least nearly 1/3 of the population would be vulnerable to this new form of whale lice. This is over simplified, but in essence a huge portion of the population is much more vulnerable to a single threat due to common disease resistances, or the lack thereof.</span>

Two species of similar-looking insects have the same coloration, although one is poisonous and the other is not. This is likely
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, mimicry.

Explanation:

Mimicry in evolutionary biology refers to an evolved similarity between the organism and another organism of other species. The phenomenon may take place between the individuals of a similar species or between the individuals of distinct species. The main objective of mimicry is to safeguard the species from predators, resulting in an antipredator adaptation.  

The evolution of mimicry takes place when the predator witnesses a similarity between the model and the mimic and as a consequence modifies its behavior in a manner, which offers a selective benefit to the mimic.
