What is the primary advantage of the green stick insects in the green environment?

They have a greater ability to adapt to other environments.

They are more visible to predators.

They have an increased chance of survival and reproduction. (correct)

They are more likely to detect predators.

What is the relationship between the stick insects' body color and their survival in the different environments?

The stick insects' body color is irrelevant to their survival.

The body color has no impact on the survival of the stick insects.

The stick insects with a body color that matches their environment are more likely to survive. (correct)

The stick insects with a body color that does not match their environment are more likely to survive.

What can be inferred about the population of stick insects in the yellow-green environment?

The population will eventually become entirely yellow-green.

The frequency of the brown allele will remain constant.

There will be a decrease in the frequency of the yellow-green allele. (correct)

There will be an increase in the frequency of the green allele.
