Question

I need help with answering b. 

2. A population of beetles (shown in the image below) lives in a grassy field on an island. The beetles are
hunted by a bird predator. The light beetles are yellow and the darker
beetles are green. A heavy tropical storm separates a beetle population
and some individuals are washed onto a nearby sandy island that
contains the same species of bird as on the grassy field.
a.
Which type of beetle would be most likely to survive on the
grassy field. Which type of beetle would be most likely to
survive on the sandy island. Please explain why!
O
These end up on
the sandy island
b. Suppose in 1,000 years the beetles from the sandy island come back into contact with the
beetles on the grassy field. Do you think they will still be the same species? How would we
determine if they are still one beetle species?
