Select the correct answer.
Scientists are monitoring a local snake species. The species went through a rapid habitat change when some of the grassy
meadows they lived in were cleared for new buildings. The snakes have three distinct color variations: green, brown, and
black
The chart shows the number of snakes before and after the event:
green
Before Habitat Change
7,556
5,264
One Year After Habitat Change
1,293
3,948
brown
black
6,450
6.321
Scientists noted that most populations of these snakes around the world have experienced similar habitat changes. What do
you predict for this species as a whole?
They will immediately die out because of low genetic diversity.
O Brown snakes and black snakes will become more common than green snakes.
Green, brown, and black snakes will exist in equal distributions.
Green snakes and brown snakes will die out immediately
