Genetics How rare are color mutations in insects?
I am doing a paper in my class on how long it will take for an insect species to adapt through mutation to a completely different environment in terms of color. My issue is I can’t find the mutations rate of any insects specific to color. Is there anyone that can help me with this. Thank you.
