PLEASE SHORTEN SAMPLE ANSWER, PLS I RLLY NEED THIS

Using the scarlet king snake as an example, explain how the process of genetic variation is random but acquiring beneficial traits is based on natural selection.

THIS WAS THE SAMPLE ANSWER: "Genetic variation is the number of genes available in the population of a species. In the scarlet king snake’s lineage, there’s a random genetic variation that allows the species to mimic a coral snake. This variation turned out to be a beneficial trait that improved the king snake’s chances of survival. Snakes with this variation were more likely to reproduce and pass the favorable traits on to their offspring, which is natural selection. Now most scarlet king snakes have this trait."

Scarlet king snakes cannot camouflage and so instead they mimic a dangerous neighbor. Scarlet king snakes have evolved over the years to look like coral snakes so that they could scare away other predators that may be dangerous and would want to hurt them

this is the reason

----- now the simplified answer

the scarlet snake has a very random ( rare ) genetic variation , it mimcs or

( behaves a like or looks like coral snake ) , it turns out that this trait helps the snake high chance of survival, snake with this kind of trait are often likely to reproduce and pass their traits to their children

now most of the scarlet snakes have this trait

trait ; a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.

thank you
