In order to test hypotheses about natural selection favoring stripes in zebras or otherwise, researchers will have to assume that stripe colors are heritable in zebra.

<h3>Natural selection</h3>

Natural selection forces only act on heritable traits/genes so as to help organisms adapt to changes.

Traits that are developed as a result of the environment without any underlining genes are not heritable and cannot be selected or deselected by natural selection forces.
