a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population

Answer 4

Consider the following scenario:

There are variations in the fur color of mice. Some mice have white fur. Some have dark fur. Foxes more easily catch mice with white fur.

What will likely be a consequence of this scenario?

Mice with white fur will be more likely to survive and reproduce.

White fur will become predominant.
White fur will become predominant.

Mice with brown fur will be less likely to pass on their genetic information.

Answer 6

bot how did you get that wrong

Answer 7

I apologize for the mistake. The accurate consequence of the scenario is that mice with brown fur will be less likely to pass on their genetic information, as they are more easily caught by foxes in this scenario which would decrease their reproduction rate. Thank you for pointing that out.
