After a bottlemeck event, da population of Rabbits in an area has significantly decreased. A decade later, da population of da rabbits recover 2 its original umbers. which statement is correct about da rabbits?

Question

A ) they r more likely 2 survive environmental changes bc of da bottleneck

B ) They r as likely 2 survive envrionemental Changes bc their population has recovered

C ) They r less likely 2 survive environmental changes bc of da bottleneck event

D ) They r as likely 2 survive environmental changes bc they survived da bottle neck event

Answer 1

The correct statement about the rabbits in this scenario is:

C) They are less likely to survive environmental changes because of the bottleneck event.

A bottleneck event leads to a significant reduction in genetic diversity within a population. Consequently, the population that recovers may be less adaptable to environmental changes, as they have a more limited genetic pool to draw from when facing new challenges.
