Suppose a species of nonpoisonous snake is dark-colored, and a species of poisonous snake is brightly colored. predators recognize the bright colors of the poisonous snake and stay away from it, but they frequently feast on the nonpoisonous snake. some nonpoisonous snakes, like the king snake look a lot like a poisonous variety. in this case, the king snake looks like the deadly coral snake. the king snake is not attacked by predators and survives. this adaptation which allows for natural selection is called a) mimicry. b) evolution. c) camouflage. d) variation.
