This could potentially happen if this organism lost the ability to camouflage. 
What is it would become more visible to predators, increasing its chances of being hunted and reducing its survival rate?

500
During Gregor Mendel's experiments, he crossed green and yellow pea plants and observed that the green phenotype exhibited (showed) this inheritance pattern.
What is recessive?
500
List three advantages of asexual reproduction
What is...
1. Requires less energy
2. Requires less time

A farmer wants to increase the productivity of their dairy cows. Using selective breeding, this is the trait the farmer should focus on to achieve this goal.
What is selective breeding cows that make more milk to increase milk production for the farm?
500
The Anglerfish uses a bioluminescent light to attract prey. This is how genetic variation could affect this trait.
What is genetic variation could make some lures brighter, helping those fish catch more prey, survive, and pass on that trait to their offspring?
