Question

A population of mice has moved in a new area where the rocks are very dark. Due to natural genetic variation, some of the mice are black while others are tan. The bird is a predator of the mice. Predict what will happen after a few generations and explain why. Be sure to include the following words in your response: adaptation, survive, reproduce.

Answer 1

The mice will adapt to their new environment therefore reproduce and strive. They turned black to survive from birds which makes them harder to see and after a few generation they will probably all be black and be fully adapted and will scavenge for food during the night.
