Which of the following is an example of aposematic coloration? a) stripes of a skunk b) eye color in humans c) green color of a plant d) colors of an insect-pollinated flower e) a katydid whose wings look like a dead leaf

A) stripes of a skunk

Explanation:

The aposematic coloration is coloration that has been developed by the living organisms in order to warn the predators that they can be dangerous and harmful, thus to not attack them. Usually this type of coloration tends to stick out significantly when compared with the coloration of the other species that do not exhibit it, thus making it much more easy for the animal or plant to be recognized by the predators, which is benefiting both sides. The coloration of the skunk is a nice example of aposematic coloration. The skunk has black basis, but it has straight white stripes along its back. The two colors are contrasting, so it sticks out very easily. The predatory animals immediately notice it and just move along and do not bother the skunk because they are aware that it can pose a danger to them if they attack it.
