Explanation:

Answer:

In the Arctic, hares with white fur are camouflaged against snow, so they are less likely to be hunted by foxes, survive longer, and reproduce more, passing on the white fur trait to offspring. Over time, this leads to white fur being common in Arctic hares.
Farmers repeatedly selected wild cabbage plants with pleasant taste and no blooming flowers, saved their seeds, and planted them. Over generations, the traits for palatable, non-flowering plants became more common, resulting in the broccoli plant.
