Question

Imagine a cold winter in Boston where the total population of 60 Italian Wall Lizards is reduced to only four survivors; two males and two females. You notice that the four survivors all have distinctive short green stripes. What might you predict about the appearance of Italian Wall Lizards in the area next year? Another observer (not a biologist) says, "Hmm. If only the short green stripy ones survived the past winter, this must mean that they are a cold-tolerant group of super-lizards characterized by short green stripes." Is this a reasonable conclusion? Why or why not?
