The mice living in an area changed from having brightly colored fur to having darkly colored fur. how did natural selection most likely result in this evolutionary change? a. bright mice were not able to blend into their environment as easily as dark mice, so they did not continue to survive and reproduce. b. bright mice produced fewer offspring than dark mice, so the bright mice became outnumbered within days. c. random changes in the genetics of bright mice produced more dark mice, so the bright mice quickly died off. d. random changes in the genetics of dark mice produced fewer bright mice, so the dark mice took over the population.

The correct answer would be A. Bright mice were not able to blend into their environment as easily as dark mice, so they did not continue to survive and reproduce.

Natural selection refers to the process by which organisms which are better adapted to the changing environment tend to survive and reproduce more as compared to the organisms which are less adaptive.

Similarly, dark color fur would be providing some survival advantage to the population due to which the trait is naturally selected and the number of organisms with dark color fur survive more as compared to the bright color ones.

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.
