Seagulls prey on snails on the rocky Sea Coast the snail's very in color from solid Brown to Brown and tan stripes the birds suck the soft snail bodies out of their shells and leave the shells behind on the rocks scientists pick up 500 empty shells and found that 400 of the shells were solid Brown and only a hundred were stripes over the years what would you expect to happen to the snail population a the snails would become extinct be there would be mostly Brown snails see there would be mostly striped snails or D there would be an even number of brown snails and striped snails
The correct answer is B: there would be mostly Brown snails. Since the seagulls are preying on the snails with the striped shells, over time the population of striped snails would decrease while the population of solid brown snails would increase. This would result in there being mostly brown snails in the population.
