Given your knowledge of evolution and natural selection consider the following scenario: A population of grasshoppers contains individuals that have either green or tan bodies.  The prairie where the grasshoppers live used to have grass plants with both green and tan colored leaves.  Recently, a disease has wiped out all the types of grass except those with the green leaves.  The effect on the grasshopper population would be that with each generation: A.  tan grasshoppers would develop slightly more green bodies, B.  there would be a greater proportion of individuals with green bodies, C.  there would be no discernible effect since there would be enough food for all grasshoppers. State your choice (A., B., C.) and provide the reasoning for the choice you made, briefly.   [Why did you pick A or B or C?]
