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?
A). Mice with brown fur will be less likely to pass on their genetic information.
B). Mice with white fur will be more likely to survive and reproduce.
C). White fur will become predominant.
D). Brown fur will become predominant.
B). Mice with white fur will be more likely to survive and reproduce.
In this scenario, because foxes more easily catch mice with white fur, the mice with white fur will be at a disadvantage compared to those with dark fur. As a result, the mice with dark fur will be more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genetic information. Over time, this may lead to an increase in the proportion of mice with dark fur in the population.
