Imagine you are a scientist observing rats in the wild. As the rats reproduce, rats born with white fur slowly begin to outnumber rats with black fur. In three to five sentences, provide two or more different explanations of why the rats with white fur might be outnumbering the rats with black fur.
One explanation for the increase in white-furred rats could be that the environment is changing, which may have caused a shift in the predator-prey relationship. For instance, if growing vegetation provides better camouflage to white-furred rats, they might be less visible and thus have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Another explanation could be that there is a genetic predisposition for white fur that is being passed down from generation to generation, leading to more offspring with white fur. It's also possible that a combination of both environmental factors and genetic traits are contributing to the shift in fur color.
