Question

Type the number of your answer in the blank.

A mother squirrel gave birth to four baby squirrels. The fourth baby had a random
genetic mutation that gave it white, fluffy fur instead of brown, short fur like its
siblings. When humans destroyed the family of squirrel's habitat, they were forced to
move north where the environment was much colder and the land covered in snow.
Which of the four babies is most likely to survive in their new environment?

Answer 5

To determine which of the four babies is most likely to survive in their new environment, we need to consider their genetic mutation and the characteristic of their fur. The baby squirrel with white, fluffy fur is most likely to have an advantage in a snow-covered environment because it would blend in better with the surroundings and be less visible to predators. Therefore, the answer is _4_.
