A population initially consists of green and yellow members. After several generations of rainy seasons, the grasshopper population
consists almost entirely of green members and the number of yellow members significantly declined. What is the best explanation for
this change in the population of grasshoppers?
The green grasshoppers were not able to camouflage as well as the yellow grasshoppers.
The yellow grasshoppers were easier for predatory species to locate in their green environment, and their chances of surviving
long enough to reproduce decreased.
The yellow grasshoppers have increased fitness.
The green grasshoppers produce more offspring due to a mutation in their gametes.
