"Answer DThe outermost layer of old epidermal cells are sloughed off and replaced every 15 to 30 days. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum which maintains the skin pH between 3 and 5. Bacteria which metabolize sebum live as opportunistic pathogens on the skin and cause skin infections."

an organism with nutritional requirements

<u>Answer</u>: option B they have a random gene mutation that affects their fur colour.
<u>Explanation</u> :-
- <em>Variation</em> is the phenomena which occurs in all populations.
- These variations result in slight differences in the phenotypes of individuals .
- These variations only arise due to <em>random mutations </em>that arise in the individuals’ genome and then can be inherited by their offspring.
- There is always a probability of one particular trait to make the individuals survive better in the environment as compared to other trait.
- The individuals having the trait that helps them to survive better in the environment tend to survive more and leave more progeny. This is termed as <em>survival of the fittest</em>.
- Thus, according to the question it can be inferred that the dark fur colour arose due to a <em>random mutation </em>since it is the only source of variation. Since, in the given environmental conditions the mice having the dark fur colour were less susceptible to the predators they are better fitted to survive.
- The dark brown fur coat mice, survive better, leave more progeny and hence, increase their population with time. However, the orginal source of origin of this trait was a random mutation. Had this mutation not occured, the dark coloured fur mice would not have been there.
So, a <em>random gene mutation affecting the fur colour made the dark coloured mice first appear in the population.</em>
Since IDK which two you would choose, I'll just list all of them: fish have developed a light, streamlined body to get through water quickly to evade predators with and swim with ease, owls have big eyes so their pupils can get enough light to see in the dark since they're nocturnal, their light bodies and special (Fluffy???) flight feathers let it fly with virtually no sound, allowing it to sneak up on prey, tortoises have a large, hard shell for protection from predators and provides a mobile home on their back! Bats may be practically blind but that doesn't stop them when using echolocation to detect prey and chase it no matter what moves they make or obstacles in the way, snowshoe hares have big feet to sit on top of the snow in the cold winters where they live, their fur also changes colors as the snow melts and the plants start coming back in the more warmer seasons, poison dart frogs, sorry, IDK, cacti have developed spines all over them as self defense, (from what IDK) and they can last a long time without water (I think, don't quote me on that ^^') hope this helps
