1 point The climate in which a population of field mice and their predators live
begins to grow colder and snow begins to fall in the area for most of the
year. The field mice with the lightest fur are better able to blend in with the
snow to avoid being hunted and those with the darkest fur are better able
to maintain body heat and less likely to die of cold. Fur color in field mice is
a polygenic trait. Which type of pattern of natural selection of field mice
would occur in this scenario?
