If natural selection occurs in this population, what would you you returned in 100 mouse generations? Describe what you'd see in expect to see terms of fur colors in the population. 3. Imagine a population of mice living in a grey, rocky environment. Some mice arelgrey and some are brown. If mutations occur in this population, what could you see if you returned in 100 mouse generations, that would tell you mutations had occurred?
