The correct term to describe this phenomenon is genetic drift. This is because the disease randomly killed off rabbits, leading to a change in the population's genetic makeup without a specific selection pressure for advantageous traits.
Rabbits can exhibit a number of colors in their coats: black, white, tan, brown, red, and gray. A disease randomly kills off most of the population and leaves only black and gray rabbits. Future Generations are only black or gray. What is the term used to describe this phenomenon?(1 point)
