Answer:
The "parent" would most likely survive.
Explanation:
Camouflage- Most likely, the butterflies of a certain colour feed on
nectar from flowers of the same colour. So if there is a variation of colour, they will be more visible to predators and be killed easily.
The mutated butterflies may be more attractive to mates, but that doesn't
directly address survival, which is more tied to predation risk in this
context.
Asserting that mutations always benefit an organism, is incorrect.
Mutations can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on the
environmental context and the nature of the mutation.
