Question

how does natural selection impact a population of rabbits living in a snowy environment if the rabbits are predominantly white? white rabbits will begin to have a reduction in survival rates. white rabbits will become even more white over time. white rabbits will have a higher survival rate due to camouflage. brown rabbits will gradually start to become the dominant color.

Explanation:

Natural selection favors traits that enhance survival and reproduction. In a snowy environment, white - colored rabbits have better camouflage against predators, increasing their chances of survival. This gives them a selective advantage over non - white (e.g., brown) rabbits.

Answer:

C. White rabbits will have a higher survival rate due to camouflage.
