Question

In this case if the surface was a sand hill instead of a rocky mountain which mice population would survive better?

  1. Brown
  2. Black
  3. A mutant with both colors
  4. Both population will survive equally

The correct answer is: Brown


    • The correct answer is Brown.
    • Because more of the brown-colored mice survived and reproduced. This caused the population of rock pocket mice to evolve to have more individuals with dark-colored fur.
