Q.15. From these pictures identify the process and explain.
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
The process shown in the picture is known as natural selection.
Natural selection may be defined as the process by which an organism which is better adaptive to a particular kind of environment tends to survive, leading in the elimination of the organism less adaptive to that environment. These organisms are naturally selected reproduce to pass on their genetic qualities suitable to that environment making their species best suitable to that particular environment.
In natural selection, as more of red beetles were eaten by birds (crow), the population of red beetles is less as compared to green beetles. Because crows cannot see green colored beetles on the green leaves but they can see red ones.Hence, red beetles survive to reproduce less often than green beetles. So this would help green beetles to survive more and therefore they reproduce more as compare to red beetles and allows the green beetles to have more offspring.
