In the desert envronment of the southwestern United States, small mice called pocket rock mice live in areas which have light colored rocks and sol, as well as areas which have dark colored rocks and sol
The rock pocket mice that live on dark colored soil tend to have dark tur, and the rock pocket mice that live on light colored sol tend to have light fur
How would you explain why these two color variations happen in terms of genetic variation and environmental factors?
Genetic variation results in the two fur colors, and the different colored sols are the environmental factors that provide selection pressure for the fur colors to remain in the populations
The different colored sols cause the two fur colors, and the genetics of the mice cause these environmental pressures to increase over time,
The light colored soil causes the appearance of light colored mice, and the dark colored sol causes the appearance of dark colored mice.
The different colored sol occur randomly, and the fur color occurs on purpose as a result
