Suppose that this population of mice has stabilized so that both white and brown appear. White mice survive better in the winter
and brown mice survive better in the warmer months. If a group of these mice migrated to an area that didn't get snowy in the winter, what do you think would be the long term effect on the color of these mice? Explain why.
The population of the white mice would significantly decrease, and most of the mouse population would be with brown fur.
Explanation:
As stated in the question, the brown mice survive better in warmer times. This is due to the fact that with winter and snowy times it makes it harder for prey to spot the WHITE mice v.s. the BROWN mice who would very easily be spotted by the prey in snowy regions.
