biology

options

  1. The light-colored mice evolved from the dark-colored mice over time.
  2. The color of the mice is determined by their diet in the lava formations and desert.
  3. The two varieties of mice descended from a recent common ancestor.
  4. The mouse population was originally one population that diverged into two species because of mutations.
  5. Selection favors some phenotypes over others.
  6. The two varieties of mice have always existed separately and did not share a common ancestor.
  7. Originally the mice were all dark colored. As the lava decomposed into sand, the color of some mice changed because that color was favored in that environment.
  8. The mice were originally light-colored, but some darkened over time to blend into the lava formations.
