Based off this info and photo give the best answer or correct one. In northern Canada, a population of rabbits was predominantly white in color. The allele for white color is recessive (g) while the allele for gray color is dominant (G). Over the last several decades, the average annual temperature of this area has increased and the long-term deposits of ice and snow have become scarce. In this case, the frequency of a previously rare allele becomes more frequent in the population.     The year is 2050. The climate has continued to warm.

In northern Canada, a population of rabbits was predominantly white in color. The allele for white color is recessive (g) while the allele for gray color is dominant (G). Over the last several decades, the average annual temperature of this area has increased and the long-term deposits of ice and snow have become scarce. In this case, the frequency of a previously rare allele becomes more frequent in the population.
 
 
The year is 2050. The climate has continued to warm. Areas in northern Canada and Alaska are without snow or ice; the average annual temperature has risen and previously snow-covered areas are now shrub land and some temperate forests.
