NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Light colored mice are more easily seen by predators and are therefore preyed upon more. Dark mice are better adapted to their environment and better able to survive and reproduce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dark-colored mice are less visible to predators. This makes them more fit in this environment and therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. In Arizona, where there are fewer visual predators, there is no selective advantage to light-or dark-colored fur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
