A population of mice live in a meadow with a river running through the meadow. The mice are able to cross
back and forth from side to side of the river on a fallen tree. The mouse population contains mice colored black
and gray. The tree eventually rots and falls into the river where it is swept away. The majority of black mice
were on the east side of the river and the majority of gray mice were on the west side of the river. Answer the
following questions based on this information.

survive in blackened woods?
a. they would become lighter in color
b. they would become darker in color
