Answer:

They die.

Step-by-step explanation:

If genetically modified deer mice with white fur were accidentally released into the wild population of mice, they will die and decrease in population because these genetically modified deer mice with white fur can't survive harsh conditions of the mice. Their colour also attract the predators at night so they catch these genetically modified deer mice with white fur and feed on them which automatically decrease its population.
