there a correlation between survival, reproduction and environment color? Explain. 2. Are there any other factors besides color important in determining survival in the simulation? 3. Why did we set the rate of reproduction at 2/survivor? What would happen if one color always had more offspring than other colors? 4. Suppose that a mutation occurs and a white, “albino” bead is born. How well would it survive in your environment? Please answer all questions please

Expert Solution
Step 1

Natural selection is the major reason to assess the survival rate. Natural selection is the concept given by Darwin. According to this concept the individual who is fit would be able to survive in the given environment and those who are not fit would eventually die.
