Ok so answer for 5 would be
5) a mimicry could be a great fully helpful adaption because as an example, the butterfly’s that blend in with trees, or the butterfly’s that look like birds, can either scare away predators or they can blend in.

6) as an example, a blue tongue skink has a blue tongue which is very common in venomous animals. Whenever said skink is threatened, it puffs up, opens its mouth, and hisses. When most predators see the tongue, they assume it’s venomous/poisonous because of the bright color. Another example would be milk snakes who look like coral snakes to scare away predators
