A population of short-finned fish and a population of long-finned fish live in a lake. Fish with long fins swim faster than fish with short fins, which means they escape predators more often. According to natural selection, which of the following will happen over time?

AThe number of long-finned fish will increase.
BThe number of long-finned fish will decrease.
CThe number of short-finned fish will increase.
DThe number of short-finned fish will not change.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is letter A.

The number of long-finned fish will increase overtime. This is because they have the adaptive behavior to escape from their predators. As a result, they will be able to reproduce more and produce offsprings in great numbers therefore increasing their population through time.
