Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Here you most likely found that in a package of plain M&M’s the color with the average highest frequency was blue or orange (in other words, blue or orange was the most common color).
Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits. For example, a rabbit can’t choose to have a different fur color.
