Question

In the lab, Nachman examined dark mice from two different populations living hundreds of miles apart. The mice looked nearly identical. Their dark color was caused by two different genes. What does this tell you?
a. dark color evolved only once in rock pocket mice
b. under very similar conditions, natural selection can favor very similar adaptations
c. there are at least two genes involved in creating dark mouse fur
d. two completely different mutations in two separate genes can generate the same phenotype
e. dark fur color evolved independently on each lava flow

Answer 1

Answer:b. Examining conditions that are alike, natural selection is key when there arevery similar adaptations

c. there are not less than two different genes involved that created the dark mouse fur

d. two independent mutations in two separate genes can result in the same phenotype

e. the dark fur color evolved independently on each lava flow
