  • Himalayan rabbits are white with black fur on
    their ears and the tips of their feet. If an
    icepack is placed on a rabbits back, the fur
    will grow in black. In this case, the hair color
    is determined by-
  • length of fur
  • competition
  • environmental conditions
  • predation pressure

  • Which of the following statements describes the
    process of natural selection?
  • Farmers select animals with desirable variations
    for breeding.
  • Populations sharing the same gene pool interbreed
    and create new species.
  • Individuals survive that have inherited traits
    adapted to their environment.
  • New species are formed via genetic engineering.
