A population of rabbits in an ecosystem has genetic variation in fur thickness. Some rabbits have thick fur and others have thin fur. Due to changes in the environment, the average temperature of the ecosystem is steadily increasing.

How will this environmental change likely affect the rabbit population over time?
A. Rabbits with thick fur will become more common in the population because thick fur will be a favorable trait in this changing environment.
B. Rabbits with thin fur will become more common in the population because these rabbits are more likely to survive and successfully reproduce.
C. Rabbits with thick fur and thin fur will become equally distributed because all rabbits in the population will successfully reproduce.
D. Rabbits with both fur types will increase in the population because the temperature change will cause the population of rabbits to expand.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Thin fur is better for warmer weather, so the rabbits with thinner fur won't over heat in the warming weather.

The population of rabbits n the genetic ecosystem has thick fur and others have thin fur, due to the changes in the climate avg temperature of the ecosystem is steadily falling.

  • Looking at the situation and adaptive powers or abilities of the animals the thick fur will survive longer than those of the thin fur as the temperature of the place is declining.

Hence the option A is correct.
