This passage describes shell color in grove snails.

a grove snail with a dark- colored shell
- Some
grove snails have light- colored shells, and others have dark- colored shells. Dark- colored shells absorb more light, so they heat up in the sun more easily than light- colored shells do. - Snails
are more likely to survive when they are not too hot or too cold. So, grove snails that live in shady places tend to have dark- colored shells, and grove snails that live in sunny places tend to have light- colored shells.
The table below describes a possible population of grove snails at the start of a period of time and at the end of that period. The table shows shell color in the population at each point in time.
