Question

look again at how this population of mice changed due to natural selection. mice from the original population mice from the population after many generations click the blue words to construct the most likely explanation for this change. the change in this population suggests that mice with black fur were probably harder for predators to see than mice with brown fur were. this may have been because the populations environment had fewer areas with black rocks than with brown sand.

Explanation:

Natural selection favors traits that increase survival and reproduction. In this case, black - furred mice likely had a survival advantage as they were harder to spot by predators, possibly due to the environmental composition with more brown - sand areas.

Answer:

The change in the mouse population is likely due to natural selection where black - furred mice had a survival advantage because they were less visible to predators in an environment with more brown - sand areas compared to black - rock areas.
