Summary
The rock pocket mouse demonstrates natural selection through color adaptation to their environment. Dark mice thrive on lava flows, while light mice blend into sandy areas. Genetic mutations, specifically in the MC1R gene, enable these color changes. Natural selection favors advantageous traits, illustrating evolution's predictable patterns across different environments.
