A species of fish can have colors ranging from light to dark, depending on their genotype. At first, the fish in a lake are mostly light-colored. However, the water gets darkened by pollution, so darker fish are now better at hiding from predators. Does this situation meet the requirements for natural selection? In your explanation, say which requirements it meets or does not meet (2-3 sentences, 3 pts.) Someone claims: “Pollution makes fish mutate in order to blend in.

Explain what is wrong with it, using the terms selection, mutation, random, and non-random correctly in your answer. (3 pts)
