In the brown environment, the white rabbits had Response area while the brown rabbits had Response area. The brown rabbits were able to camouflage and hide more easily from the wolves.

The selective pressure came from the addition of the Response area.

The Response area rabbits were more likely to survive and pass on their fur color trait to the next generation. This is why the brown fur color became the most common trait in the population.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided about Scenario 3, here are the appropriate responses to complete the statements:

1. In the brown environment, the white rabbits had higher visibility while the brown rabbits had better camouflage. The brown rabbits were able to camouflage and hide more easily from the wolves.

2. The selective pressure came from the addition of the wolves.

3. The brown rabbits were more likely to survive and pass on their fur color trait to the next generation. This is why the brown fur color became the most common trait in the population.

This completes the activity according to the context of natural selection described in Scenario 3.
