<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>
The eye spot and the chloroplasts work together to help the euglena survive because the eye spot senses the light and the dark. Since euglena need to do photosynthesis in which uses light energy to make usable energy, to get food, the eye spot will tell the euglena where to move in order for it to be able to do photosynthesis.
Meiosis (SEXUAL cell division) is a type of Mitosis (cell division).
Diploid cell production happens during meiosis when the haploid (n) cells from the parents divide into TWO diploid (2n) cells (which have the complete set of chromosomes from the parents).
Basically, meiosis is required for sexual reproduction (unless in your question you can choose more than one answer...so it'll be meiosis, diploid cell production, mitosis)
Answer:
the answer is A decrease in food supply and prediation.
