Rock pocket mice species in New Mexico exist as mostly tan in color and easily blend in with the limestone rocks and sand that c

over the landscape of this region. About a thousand years ago there was a volcanic eruption which created lava flows on the surface which cooled and turned into a darker black rock color. The rock pocket mice living on the black rocks needed an adaptation to survive against visual predators like hawks and owls. Over multiple generations the population living amongst the black lava flow were observed to change to a black-furred color. Which statement below explains how this might have occurred?
Question 15 options:


Mice fur color cannot change, so they did not survive, rather a new species migrated to this area.


The change of fur color within the population over time became black as a result of the lava flow and allowed the mice to survive.


Mice fur color only changes when exposed to environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollutants.


The change of fur color within the population over time happened as a result of a mutation in one or more mice, allowing them to survive and pass along the mutated gene to future generations.

Answer:

The change of fur color within the population over time became black as a result of the lava flow and allowed the mice to survive.

Explanation:

Because the mice that have brown fur would stand out and get picked of by predators so over time the mice with the darker fur could hide more easy and spread there genetics more easily.

Human factors psychology is a branch of experimental psychology often associated with industrial/organizational psychology because it concentrates on the interaction of people and machines. Good human factors engineering can make a product convenient and easy to use, rather than frustrating and confusing.

What is Human Factors psychology?
Human Factors as a discipline was stimulated by pilot errors that cost many lives during World War II. Analysis of flying accidents revealed that many were due to the confusing layout of instruments in airplane cockpits. Pilots were faced with a bewildering array of dials and gauges in the cockpit, yet they were expected to keep track of all pertinent information and respond appropriately in emergencies. Human Factors psychologists helped to identify problems in cockpit design. They attempted to design instrument panels that were clear and easy to use for humans.

SOMEONE PLZ HELP!!! How does immigration and emigration apply to human population growth?
Temka [501]
Immigration and emigration is typically done with the purpose of looking forward to a better and more prosperous life, a more comfortable life where the money you earn can last you a pretty long time and buy you enough thing to live more comfortable than where you used to live. Therefore, when you move to a prosperous country, having children is not something you’ll worry about given to the commodities you’ll have and the easy access to baby food and baby clothes and stuff, therefore, when people emigrate/immigrate to more prosperous countries, they’re comfortable with the idea of having more children, and that leading to population growth.
