The most likely scenario is that the proportion of white-furred rabbits in the population declines.
This is because white fur provides camouflage during winter when there is snow, allowing white-furred rabbits to blend with the environment and avoid predators. However, with shorter winters resulting from increasing average temperatures, there will be less snow cover for longer periods of time. As a result, the advantage of having white fur decreases, and the brown-furred rabbits, which are better adapted to blend with the environment without snow cover, will have a higher survival rate. Over time, this natural selection process will lead to a decline in the proportion of white-furred rabbits in the population.
Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the proportion of white-furred rabbits in the population declines, while the brown-furred rabbits may either stay the same or increase in proportion.
In an ecosystem, the average temperature increases, causing a shorter winter. There are two varieties of rabbits in this area, white-furred rabbits and brown- furred rabbits. Which scenario is most likely? and give explanaation for andwer
The proportion of white-furred rabbits in the population declines
Both white- and brown-furred rabbits increase.
The proportion of white-furred rabbits in the population increases
