Question

a population of rabbits (some with white fur and some with brown fur) live in a desert. wolves, which rely on sight to hunt, are the main predators of these rabbits. how does this scenario demonstrate selection?
there are different fur colors (white and brown) in the rabbit population.
wolves catch more white rabbits, so brown rabbits survive and reproduce more. over time, brown fur becomes more common in the population over the generations.
the rabbits compete for limited hiding places to escape from predators.
brown fur, because it helps rabbits blend in better with the desert and hide from predators, which increases their chance of survival.

Explanation:

Selection (natural selection) occurs when environmental pressures (like predation) favor traits that increase survival/reproduction, leading to those traits becoming more common over time. The blue option directly shows this: wolves (predators) catch more visible white rabbits, so brown rabbits survive and reproduce more, making brown fur common over generations.

Answer:

Wolves catch more white rabbits, so brown rabbits survive and reproduce more. Over time, brown fur becomes more common in the population over the generations.
