help me please

Question 1- The supervisors at the nature reserve are concerned that the drought situation will affect both populations of deer mice of gray and brown fur in a similar way. Is this true? Why or why not? What can you infer about the genetics of the deer mice based on the observation that they have two different physical traits for fur color?
In your answer, mention the difference between phenotype and genotype and discuss how it affects the adaptation and survival of the mice population of each fur color in the nature reserve.

Question 2- In the space below, make a model, a labeled diagram, or a flow chart, that describes the relationship between chromosomes, genes, proteins and their structures, and the observable trait of fur color in deer mice.
The supervisors at the nature reserve are hypothesizing that the diet of the mice is affecting their fur color. Is their hypothesis true? In your answer, describe how genes and proteins are involved in expression of traits (gray fur versus brown fur) and how this in turn affects the adaptation and survival of each mice population in the nature reserve.

The experts at Science Buddies help students in grades K-12 with their hands-on science projects. They do not provide help with homework or other questions. If you are working on a hands-on science project, please provide more detail about your project so we can help. If this is a homework or lab assigment, there are other sites on the web where your questions would be more appropriate. Thank you.
