Over many generations, the guinea pigs with dark brown fur would have a better chance of survival as they would be less visible to predators. Therefore, they would have a higher chance of reproducing and passing on their dark brown fur gene. Eventually, the population would become dominated by dark brown fur guinea pigs. The white fur gene may still exist in the population, but it would likely become less common as those with the gene would have a lower chance of survival.
