Question

In many ecosystems, smallerpoisonous animals develop a bright coloration. Predators learn to steer clear of these colors, lest they get a mouthful of venom. Over time, other non-poisonous species may develop the same coloration, cashing in on the nasty reputation of the poisonous species. This adaptation is known by which name?
A)Tom-foolery
B)Charades
C)Pantomime
D)Mimicry

Answer 1

Answer:

A simpler variation on this adaptation is simple color mimicry. In many ecosystems, smaller poisonous animals develop a bright coloration -- predators learn to steer clear of these colors, lest they get a mouthful of venom. Mimicry is a different approach than ordinary camouflage, but it works toward the same end.
