There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c

olored with red and white stripes. The second species, Caridina multidentata, is more mottled drab in coloration. Fish have an easier time finding and eating Caridina cantonensis due to their bright colors. When each of these species reproduce they produce about 100 offspring, but only 30% Caridina cantonensis offspring survive to reproductive age, while 75% Caridina multidentata offspring survive to reproductive age. In this situation what is natural selection selecting for? In this situation what is natural selection selecting against? How do you predict this population will evolve? Identify how each of the listed conditions from the above scenario that influence natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.

A milk snake looks similar to the deadly coral snake. This is an example of A) warning coloration adaptive radiation B) cryptic
Damm [24]
In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.
