NEET Biology question
Refer to the illustration: a small population of red-coloured beetles develops an inheritable colour variation and a few individuals become blue; over generations, red-coloured beetles get crushed under an elephant's foot while blue-coloured beetles survive and proliferate. What could be inferred from the process illustrated above?
