In an ecosystem, the average temperature increases, causing a shorter winter. There are two varieties of rabbits in this area, white for rabbits, and Brownford rabbits what scenario is most likely
A. The proportion of Whiteford, rabbits in the population increases.
B. The proportion of white rabbits in the population declines.
C. Both white and brown rabbits.
D. Both white and brown rabbits decline.
A. The proportion of Whiteford rabbits in the population increases.
Since the average temperature increases, and assuming Whiteford rabbits are better adapted to warmer temperatures, they are more likely to have higher survival and reproductive rates compared to the brown rabbits. This will result in an increase in the proportion of Whiteford rabbits in the population over time.
