From a population of red brown orange yellow and green butterflies only the red and green ones survive since they can blend into their environment and reduce predation. Which evolutionary mechanism is involved?

Verified Answer :

The answer is natural selection.

In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance
of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be
inherited. Red and green colors of butterflies increased the chance of theirĀ survival and reproduction, so these traits will pass to the next generation.
