Scenario: Natural selection is a process by which organisms with favorable traits produce more successful offspring than organisms with less favorable traits, causing the favorable traits to become more common in the population. In the southern United States, two different treefrog species, green treefrogs and gray treefrogs, are an example of this. They both live in some of the same parts of the country and eat the same things. They both also live off of the ground and lay eggs in water.

Task:
Write a scientific explanation that explains why the treefrog species are different colors. Use a minimum of 5 sentences, cite evidence and include the following terms in your : adaptation, natural selection, and trait.
