Consider the model for natural selection. Describe a scenario that represents this model of natural selection. A)
In a population of rabbits, some are brown all year long. When it snows
these rabbits cannot hide from predators and they become extinct.
B)
In a population of sunflowers, mutations cause some flower heads to
produce more seeds. More seeds means that there are more sunflower
plants over time.
C)
In a populations of birds, mutations result in different beak sizes so
the birds do not compete for food in the area. The bird population is
made up of birds with many different types of beaks.
D)
In a population of herbivores, a change in the habitat provides leaves
that are high up in the trees. The herbivores with longer necks can
reach the leaves. They survive and reproduce. The herbivores, over time,
have longer necks.
