A population of crabs live on a light-colored sandy beach. In this environment there is a population of birds that eat the crabs
. One year, there is a volcanic eruption near the beach and dark volcanic ash covers the beach. The sand is now much darker than it used to be. Scientists studying the area are most likely to predict which outcome? A.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be darker and pass on those traits to their offspring.
B.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be lighter and pass on those traits to their offspring.
C.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that do not allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.
D.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.
If the crabs are able to avoid being eaten by the birds, then they are most likely darkly colored to blend in with the dark ashen sand, and as Charles Darwin theorized: survival of the fittest.
P.S.- After the birds leave for the day, the crabs can finally get back to vibin' on the beach
Some renewable energy sources are Wind, Solar, and water, these are all better to use then like coal or gas to power houses or cars, there safer to use because they dont produce any harmful chemicals like coal or gas do.
If you have both parents with long ears and some of the offsprings have short ears, you can say both parents are heterozygous for this. Both have a dominant (long ear), and a recessive allele (short ear).
To prove this, you can draw a Punnett square, and you'll see the probabilities of the offsprings.
