Question

Explain what would happen if conditions changed that causes the seaweed to die. Now striped fish stand out to predators more than solid fish. How could natural selection result in a change to relative numbers of solid and striped fish? What important concept does this illustrate about the connection between natural selection and the environment?

Answer 1

Answer:

An organism change itself in response to the surrounding environmental condition.

Explanation:

Since striped fishes are able to save themselves from the predators due to their natural ability , the solid fishes would be an easy prey to the predators. This would lead to reduction in the number of solid fishes. Also the sea weed started dying because of environmental change. Thus, predators would shift their feeding pattern from sea weed to easily identifiable fish that is the solid fish and hence the solid fish may deplete rapidly.

Also the striped fishes in later stages may undergo natural selection to prevent themselves from the predators.

Answer 2

Natural selection occur to give the best survival chance to the organisms. Hence, they bring about biological evolution through future generations thereby increasing the variety of living things. This survival reflects on their ability to produce more offspring. The offspring must continue to survive by competing with the resources found in nature.
