Natural selection and predators

In the rocky environment, which phenotype and genotype do you believe will survive best? Phenotype: Grey Genotype: aa

Why would gray ants survive best?

Which do you believe will be least successful?Phenotype: Yellow Genotype: AA

Why would yellow ants be the least successful?

Solution

In the rocky environment, phenotype and genotype that will survive the best is : Phenotype: Grey, Genotype: aa and the least successful will be: Phenotype: Yellow ,Genotype: AA Since it is the case of natural selection and predators, so there might be a possibility that in the rocky environment, the gray ants might be less prone to natural selection via predation while yellow ants are more prone to natural selection via predation.When there is less predation, more gray ants survive to reproduce and so they will survive the best in comparision to yellow ants.Yellow ants will eventually decrease in number and survive the least.
