Populations can have variety, despite being made up of the same species. If a population has different expressed traits, this can be due to different inherited alleles. The frogs below are the same species, but they have different shades of green based on their inherited alleles. In a particular environment, lighter green frogs are easier to see by predators. Explain how natural selection could lead to a change in allele frequency.

Two students are discussing natural selection in bacteria and how it can relate to antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Bernadette states that when antibiotics are used, bacteria can respond by developing traits to help them defeat the antibiotic, which then may increase their fitness. Dominique states that there is already a variety of traits among the bacteria. Bacteria that have traits that allow them to survive the antibiotic and reproduce may have higher fitness. Which individual's reasoning do you agree with more and why?
