This theory explains that organisms that are more adapted to their habitat live longer and are more likely to pass on their traits through reproduction. For example‚ a green tree frog in a green rainforest would be more adapt than a gray tree frog. A green tree frog has the potential to blend in with the green surroundings‚ but the gray tree frog would be easily spotted by a predator and eaten due to its color and inability
