During the reproduction of a species of butterflies, a mutation occurs that makes the offspring more visible to predators. is this a positive or negative mutation? how do you predict this mutation will affect the long term survival of the species? justify your response in two or more complete sentences.

This is an example of negative mutation. Negative mutations produce a phenotype that acts antagonistically to the wild-type phenotype. On the other hand positive mutation produce a phenotype that acts synergistically to the wild-type phenotype.

The negative mutation will negatively affect the  long term survival of the butterfly species as the mutation makes the new butterfly offsprings more visible to predators.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
