Beetles can vary in color from one species to another depending on their genes. The table below shows the characteristics of the habitats you would find the two different colors of beetles living. The environment that each of these beetles live is experiencing several years of a drought which reduces the amount of plant growth each year. What would this environmental impact have on the beetle population?

• The number of brown and green beetles will decrease because of the drought

• The number of brown and green beetles will increase because of the drought

• More green beetles will survive the drought to pass on their green genes to future generations

• More brown beetles will survive the drought to pass on their brown genes to future generations
