Consider the following scenario:

Question

There are variations in the fur color of mice. Some mice hav white fur. Some have dark fur. Foxes more easily catch mice white fur.
What will likely be a consequence of this scenario?

Answer 1

A likely consequence of this scenario is that the mice with white fur will have a higher predation rate by foxes compared to the mice with dark fur. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in the population of mice with white fur as they are more vulnerable to predation. On the other hand, the mice with dark fur may have a survival advantage and be more likely to pass on their genes, leading to an increase in the proportion of mice with dark fur in the population. This scenario can result in natural selection favoring mice with dark fur in order to increase their chances of survival.
