Which of the following describes the conditions that resulted in a large population of king snakes with these types of markings?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following choices, B is correct:

A) King snakes and coral snakes relied on similar food sources that contributed to their unique coloring.

B) Since king snakes with these markings were avoided by predators, they were able to survive to pass on this trait to offspring.

C) Coral snakes mated with king snakes often enough to produce another species of king snake with the red, black, and yellow.

D) Overproduction of offspring increased the likelihood that the genetic mutation leading to these bands would spontaneously occur.

Answer 2

The condition that resulted in a large population of king snakes is Since king snakes with these markings were avoided by predators, they were able to survive to pass on this trait to offspring. The correct option is B.

What is coral and king snake?

Coral snakes are venomous snakes that have strips of red, yellow, and black color. The king snake also looks the same as the coral snake, but it is a nonpoisonous and harmless snake.

The reason, the king snake has a large population, is because its multicolored strips save it from predators, and it looks like a coral snake, so other organisms or people get mistaken it for a coral snake.

Thus, the correct option is B. Since king snakes with these markings were avoided by predators, they were able to survive to pass on this trait to offspring.
