Natural selection - Bunnies vs the elements

Explain the concept of dominant and recessive genes in relation to fur colour.

What gives an adaptation a selective advantage in a given environment?

Make brown fur recessive in the “sun” condition. After 3 generations incorporate wolves - explain why no white rabbits are born?

Explain how limited food impacts the rabbit population.

What number is the rabbit population typically restricted at following the previous condition?

• 400

• 300

• 100

• 250

Evaluate the impact of fur colour on survival when the rabbits are hunted by wolves.

Can you think of any other mutations that could be useful to avoid the selection pressure of wolves?
