A student wants to know the effect a mutation might have on a species’ survival. The change causes a rabbit to have mottled (spotted) brown fur. The student runs a computer simulation for ten generations. What possible conclusions can you draw? Choose ALL that apply.
Question 2 options:
Evolution occurred because the allele frequency changed over time.
Evolution is not occurring, mutation just introduced a new trait in the gene pool.
The rabbits with mottled brown fur have a selective advantage that gives them more camouflage from predators.
The mottled brown fur mutation is neutral because the other fur color traits still appear in the rabbit population.
The mutation had a positive effect, allowing those rabbits with the mottled brown fur to survive and reproduce better than those with the brown or white fur.
