Question

This chart shows the fur colors of a population of rabbits in Rocky Mountain National Park. If the higher elevations where snowfall is present more months of the year, what do you predict will ha that apply. A) Those with white fur will continue to decrease or even die out of the population B) Mottled fur is the dominant trait so it will continue to increase in the population The dominant and recessive alleles will not change so the population numbers will not change either D) If those with brown fur have less protection from visual predators, their numbers will start to decrease. E Those with white fur will have better camouflage and their numbers will slowly increase over the next 20 years​

Answer 1

In snowy environments, rabbits with white fur are more easily visible to predators. Therefore, the population of rabbits with white fur is predicted to decrease or even die out. Hence the correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart shows the fur colors of a population of rabbits in Rocky Mountain National Park. If higher elevations where snowfall is present more months of the year, we can predict that a) those with white fur will continue to decrease or even die out of the population. In snowy environments, rabbits with white fur are more easily visible to predators, making them more vulnerable to predation. Over time, natural selection will favor rabbits with fur colors that provide better camouflage, leading to a decrease in the population of rabbits with white fur.
