The rock pocket mouse (Chaetidipus intermedia) is a species of rodent commonly found in the desert of Mexico and the southwester
n United States. Suppose a population of rock pocket mice lives in an area of rocky terrain. The graph below show the distribution of body sizes within the population at the time the mice began to live among the rocks. Overtime, mice with smaller bodies were better able to hide from predators than larger mice. Based on this information, which of the following graphs shows the most likely distribution of body sizes within the current population of rock pocket mice?
The rock pocket mouse, Chaetodipus intermedius, a small, nocturnal animal, is found in the deserts of the southwestern United States. Most of these mice have a sandy, light-colored coat that enables them to blend in with the light-colored desert rocks and sand on which they live.
Most bacteria are eventually able to change their genetic makeup in order to become resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, the antibiotics no longer have an effect on the infections.
