Question

In a population of goats, both beige-coated and brown-coated goats are better able to blend with the rocky environment than white-coated goats. In this case, the beige and brown coat colors are favored by natural selection over the white color. Which type of pattern of natural selection would occur in this scenario

Answer 1
