The shells of some marine snails are highly variable, with some snail shells being solid and others having stripes. predation by birds is a major source of mortality for the snails. scientists studying these snails found that while 47 percent of the snail population was striped, 56 percent of the snails eaten by birds were striped. what could scientists conclude about the snails?

Answer: The scientists conclude that the striped snails are preferred by the birds.

Explanation:

Predation is a process by which one organism (predator) feeds on the other organism (prey) by killing it.

Since, in the data provided 56% of the snails that are eaten by the bird are striped this clearly suggest that the striped snails are preferred by the birds as the frequency of striped snails becoming the prey is more than the solid snails.
