: Imagine you have a butterfly population that consists of red- and bluewinged butterflies. The butterfly population you produce will live in a heavily vegetated area with light green leaves and white flowers. Suppose you are able to mate the individuals in your imaginary butterfly population. Your goal is to create a population of butterflies with high fitness.
