If two lava TIOws are separated bya short distance (say, less than a kilomeier), how could both lava flows come to be occupied by dark colored mice? (Select all correct answers) A. Dark mice could evolve on one lava flow, then migrate and colonize the other lava flow. B. Dark coloration could evolve independently on each lava flow. C. Genes for dark coloration could evolve on one lava flow, then move to the other lava flow through interbreeding of dark mice with light mice on the other lava flow. O D.A large population of dark mice could spontaneously be generated simultaneously on the dark lava flows.

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
