Select the correct answer.
There's a genetic variation in a particular species of mice. Black mice are better able to camouflage themselves from predators in their environment than tan mice are. Based on only this information, what can you conclude?
A. All of the black mice will successfully reproduce.
B. Mutations will occur in the offspring of the tan mice, making them black.
C. Brown and tan genes will be equally split in the offspring.
D. Black mice will have a better chance of successfully reaching reproductive age.
E. All of the mice will have an equal chance of successfully reaching reproductive age.
Answer (2)
Black mice, due to their better camouflage, are more likely to survive and reproduce than tan mice. Thus, they have a better chance of successfully reaching reproductive age. This concept aligns with natural selection principles. ;
Black mice have a better camouflage that allows them to survive predators more effectively than tan mice. Therefore, they will have a better chance of reaching reproductive age. The correct answer is: 'Black mice will have a better chance of successfully reaching reproductive age.'
