Blue Carb which scientifically is known as “<span>Callinectes sapidus” is a type of vertebrates. </span>A possible reason for the fluctuation in their population can be the eutrophic dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay which naturally cases low levels of oxygen dissolving into the Bay leading to fluctuation of Blue crab population.

<span>Another reason also can be the shorter life span of blue crab, its average life span recorded is one to three years which is very short in comparison to striped bass, although some blue crabs are caught after being tagged at the age of 6 to 8 years as well.</span>

There are many competing hypotheses about why zebras have stripes, ranging from predator avoidance to temperature regulation. In

sesenic [268]

In order to test hypotheses about natural selection favoring stripes in zebras or otherwise, researchers will have to assume that stripe colors are heritable in zebra.

<h3>Natural selection</h3>

Natural selection forces only act on heritable traits/genes so as to help organisms adapt to changes.

Traits that are developed as a result of the environment without any underlining genes are not heritable and cannot be selected or deselected by natural selection forces.
