Question

Imagine you are a scientist observing rabbits in the wild. As the rabbits reproduce, rabbits born with brown fur slowly begin to outnumber rabbits with white fur. In 3 - 5 sentences, identify and explain 2 different reasons for why the rabbits with brown fur might be outnumbering the rabbits with white fur.

Answer 1

1- In the case of rabbits, brown fur may be a dominant trait passed down through generations, if individuals with this trait continue to reproduce the trait will become more and more present
2- If the brown fur is helping the rabbits survive it is a sign of natural selection and this trait has been favored and become more common
