Mutation causes variation
Conditions do not favor
some mutations
Survivors reproduce
Change in conditions do
not favor some traits
Survivors reproduce
1) This model shows the process of natural selection on rabbits
demonstrating variation in fur color over several generations. Using
the model, what most likely led to the loss of white furred rabbits in
the population?
A)
XB)
C)
The white rabbits did not reproduce fast enough
to survive.
White was a recessive trait and therefore not
passed on to any offspring.
The white fur was a favorable trait but was never
prevalent in the population.
The rabbits with white fur had less camouflage in
D) the environment and were more easily preyed on
by predators.
2) If this model continues, with no major changes to the environment,
what do you expect to happen?
XA) Rabbits will continue to get lighter over time.
