A student reads that deer mice that migrated to the hills of Nebraska originally had dark colored coats. Over many years, due to a mutation, the coat color of the mice changed to a lighter color to blend in easily with the sand. Which argument summarizes the mutation in deer mice? O It is a harmful mutation as it caused a change in the original coat color of mice. O It is a beneficial mutation as it helped the mice survive in their new surroundings. O It is a neutral mutation as the change in coat color did not affect any body functions in the mice, and only helped the survival of the deer mice living in Nebraska. O Itis a neutral mutation as only the deer mice living in Nebraska were affected, and all other populations were unaffected.
