This passage describes shell color in grove snails.
snail
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.
