Although most gray squirrels have gray fur, sometimes individuals with white or black fur are born. if a white-furred individual were born in a population of gray squirrels living in a florida forest, what would be the most likely long-term consequence of its presence for the squirrel population if the forest remained unchanged for the next several generations? the population would very quickly become predominantly white since the white squirrels would be camouflaged against the sand. the number of white squirrels in the population would slowly increase as the original white squirrel produced white offspring. the population would remain primarily gray, and the white squirrel would likely get eaten prior to adulthood. the white squirrel would draw more predators to the area since it was more visible, and many gray squirrels would get eaten.

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.
