Study the table to see how stick insects of three different body colors survive in different environments. Which statements are supported by the data in the table? Choose three correct answers.

Stick insects actively choose to live in an environment where they are camouflaged.

Depending on the environment they live in, the green, brown, or yellow-green stick insects have an advantage over organisms that are easier to detect by predators.

Stick insects will be less likely to survive and reproduce if they are more visible to predators like the blue jays.

Depending on the environment they live in, the allele frequency for their body color may decrease or increase over time.

Stick insects will be more likely to survive and reproduce if they can avoid an environment that matches their body color.

A beetle species that lives deep inside trees invades a forest where a population of woodpeckers lives. Only woodpeckers with longer beaks are able to reach these beetles and feed on them. The shorter-beaked woodpeckers are at a disadvantage over the longer-beaked ones. Which type of pattern of natural selection of woodpeckers would occur in this scenario?

In a population of pea plants, 36 plants are homozygous for the dominant trait giving yellow peas (YY), 48 plants are heterozygous for the yellow pea trait (Yy), and 16 plants have green peas (yy). What is the frequency of alleles in this population?

Y = 0.75; y = 0.25

Y = 0.50; y = 0.50

Y = 0.60; y = 0.40

Y = 0.40; y = 0.60
