Taxonomy- the classification of something, especially organisms.
Classify- arrange (a group of people or things) in classes or categories according to shared qualities or characteristics.
Binomial nomenclature- the scientific way to name living things with a two part generic (genus) and specific (species) name.
Kingdom- a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.
Species- a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g. Homo sapiens.
Prokaryote- a microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles, including the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
Eukaryote- an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaea.
Heterotroph- an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Unicellular- having or consisting of a single cell.
Multicellular- composed of several or many cells.

Answer:
The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>
Explanation:
As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.
Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)
Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.
