Red and green beetles from a forest migrate to grasslands. In the new environment, green beetles are able to protect themselves better from predators through camouflage. Which change in the population will most likely happen over time

The population of red beetles will more likely to decrease over time, meanwhile the green beetles may increase. This is because in a new environment, red beetles are more likely to be found by predators, and green ones can camouflage themselves, so the red ones will be eaten, while the green ones stay unbothered so that the rate will even increase.

Camouflage is the physical behavior to adapt to the changes in the outer surroundings. After some time in a beetle population, most of the beetles will be green due to evolution and adaptation. Thus, option C is correct.

What are evolution and adaptation?

Evolution and adaptation are the mechanisms of adjusting to altered and new environments due to various factors. Evolution is the modification that allowed the organism to survive.

The adaptations are the changes that let the natural selection and allows the species to survive and be favored over the other organism. The red beetles decreased over time because they were not able to adapt to the change in the habitat.

The red ones were easily spotted against the green grasslands by their predators while the green ones adapted and camouflaged in the green color.

Therefore, after some time the population will comprise mostly green beetles.
