Amutation occurs in the genes that code for coat color in deer. which change will most likely result from this mutation?
a. a change in the selection pressures acting on coat color
b. a change in the coat-color genes of deer predator species
c. an increase in coat-color diversity in the population
d. an increase in the number of genes for coat color in the population

Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat butterflies and moths, yet birds rarely eat the monarchs. likewise, the monarch caterpillars are brightly striped yellow and white and black, and they also are rarely eaten by birds, although some wasps will attack them and feed them to their young. what can be inferred from these observations? monarchs must threaten and attack birds, but not wasps. monarchs have a way of discouraging bird predation that does not involve hiding. monarchs’ wings are so colorful that most birds must find them difficult to eat. monarchs lay more eggs than other less conspicuous butterflies.
