Question

Two rabbit species, X and Y, live in an Arctic environment that is also populated by wolves. Species x turns white in the winter and

brown in the spring. Species y stays brown all year. The population of species X has slowly been increasing over the population of
species Y. What is most likely causing this population change?

Answer 1

yy

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The most likely explanation for the increasing population of species X over species Y in an Arctic environment with wolves is: A) Species X is better adapted to its environment because it blends in with the snow in the winter.

The ability of species X to turn white in the winter and brown in the spring provides it with a camouflage advantage during the snowy season, making it less visible to predators like wolves.

This adaptation likely contributes to increased survival rates for species X during the critical winter period, allowing its population to gradually increase over time. Species X is better adapted to its environment because it blends in with the snow in the winter.
