You use a dye that works well under most conditions, but you do not realize that your study area is subject to acid rain. After you release the marked frogs, a heavy rain occurs and any frog not under a shelter during the rain will lose its dye mark. If when you recapture frogs, the frogs are a mix of marked individuals who have kept their mark, marked individuals who have lost their mark due to rain, and unmarked individuals, then your estimate of population size will likely be unaffected by the change in marking smaller than expected larger than expected

What is the relationship between changes in gene frequencies and adaptations? The change in genes results in adaptations, which in turn, lead to the individual's ability to survive in its environment. The change in genes reduces adaptations, limiting the individual's ability to adapt for survival. The change in genes speeds up the process of adaptations, and the result is adaptations within any species will occur within a year. The change in genes results in adaptations in the individual, but these adaptations cannot be passed on to future generations.
Ancestors of the beach mouse mayhave exhibited variations in their coat color. Because of the prevalence of visualpredators, the better-camouflaged (lighter) mice in the beach habitat may havesurvived longer and been able to produce more offspring. Over time, a higher andhigher proportion of individuals in the population would have had the adaptation of lighter fur that acted to camouflage the mouse in the beach habitat.
