Question

Explain how organisms changes within an environment affect their survival. Specifically discuss the effects of a gene mutation for color in beetles.

Answer 1

gene mutations help them camaflauge for survival. when change happens in an enviornment many things within the beetles mutation will change to adapt for the enviornment around them.

those genes will be passed down to the next generation survival of the fitest

Answer 2

Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.
