Question

this passage describes rhd resistance in rabbits.
wild rabbits are considered pests in some parts of the world. sometimes, humans spread a disease called rhd, or rabbit haemorrhagic disease, to reduce rabbit populations.
many rabbits die within a few days after catching rhd. however, rabbits with the trait of rhd resistance are not killed by this disease.
a healthy wild rabbit
the table below describes a possible population of rabbits at the start of a period of time and at the end of that period. the table shows the rhd resistance trait in the population at each point in time.
complete the table.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total rabbits (Start)

$609 + 91 = 700$

Step2: % resistant (Start)

$\frac{609}{700} \times 100 = 87\%$

Step3: % non-resistant (Start)

$\frac{91}{700} \times 100 = 13\%$

Step4: Calculate total rabbits (End)

$168 + 432 = 600$

Step5: % resistant (End)

$\frac{168}{600} \times 100 = 28\%$

Step6: % non-resistant (End)

$\frac{432}{600} \times 100 = 72\%$
