Apopulation of deer mice was introduced into a desert ecosystem. being dark-colored, the deer mice stood out in the sand and were easy prey for predators. over a few years, the color of the mice changed from dark brown to light brown. what role does natural selection play in this example? 30 pts and markmbrainlist  

if you still need the answer it is C

because there not really predators so the color allows them to hide from predators

The natural selection is defined as the process by which the organisms adapt to a new environment in order to survive and produce more offsprings. This process is the main driving force in order to undergo evolution, that takes place over a long period of time.

In the given condition, initially, the deer mice were dark brown in colour and were easily visible on the sand, as a result of which they became easy prey for their predators. Their numbers were significantly affected and after a specific period of time, provided all the necessary conditions, they were able to undergo the process of evolution that favoured them to change their colour from dark brown to light brown colour, helping them to get escape from their predators.

Thus, the natural selection method is an important factor that helps organisms to adapt to a new environment and survive during the process of evolution.
