Answer 1

Answer:

sorry I don't know the answer

Answer 2

Answer: Genetic variation is the number of genes available in the population of a species. In the scarlet king snake’s lineage, there’s a random genetic variation that allows the species to mimic a coral snake. This variation turned out to be a beneficial trait that improved the king snake’s chances of survival. Snakes with this variation were more likely to reproduce and pass the favorable traits on to their offspring, which is natural selection. Now most scarlet king snakes have this trait.
