8. Suppose you are studying a recently discovered population of rock pocket mice with
dark-colored fur that lives on volcanic rock. You take a DNA sample from a member of this new
population and determine the DNA sequence of a gene known to play a role in fur color. The
sequence you get is identical to that of the same gene in another rock pocket mouse population
with dark-colored fur that lives on a different patch of volcanic rock. Whhat could explain this
observation.
