Imagine a population of rabbits in which most of the rabbits are brown all
year. Then a mutation occurs, and one rabbit is born with a coat that turns nearly white in the winter. How might this white coat present an advantage to the rabbit?
A. The white coat would help the rabbit hide from predators when
snow fell during the winter.
B. The white coat would help the rabbit stand out against the greens
and browns of summer foliage.
C. The white coat would help the rabbit attract a mate more easily
than a brown coat.
D. The white coat would help the rabbit stay warmer than a brown
coat
