In the first picture, the mice are in the environment looking for resources necessary for their survival. In the second picture, mice are being hunted by a predator. In the third figure, the rat population decreased as the light rats died and the dark rats survived.
The three figures represent a process called Natural Selection.
What is Natural Selection?
- It's a biological process.
- It is a process that causes biological evolution.
- It is the process that allows the survival of the most adapted individuals to the environment.
In the figures, we can see that there is a community of dark and light mice. Dark mice are more adapted to the environment, as they can camouflage themselves more easily.
This camouflage allows the dark mice to evade predators more efficiently. On the other hand, light mice are easily noticed by predators and for this reason, they are quickly devoured.
This causes the number of light mice to decrease to the point where they cease to exist. Meanwhile, the dark mice survive and pass this trait on to their descendants.
