A population of rabbits has individuals with fur coloring that ranges from white to brown. The population lives in a temperate deciduous forest where the summers are mild and average about 50°F. The winters are often below freezing.

If warmer temperatures last longer into the fall and the average temperature in the winter is getting warmer, what do you expect to happen to the population?

The percentage of the population with white fur will decrease.

The percentage of the population with white fur will decrease.

Explanation:

complete the square on the right side of the equation;

-5(x + 0)^2 + 15

answer: d. y = -x^2 + 15

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
