Question
sis (ie. an educated guess) prediction based on that a dominant white fur mutation in the white, snowy environment, with predatory lynx? Come up with a hypothesis (ie. an educa based on what you know. Write your hypothesis (1pt). Also write your (1 pt) ing if. then, and beicause. (2pts) What type of reasoning is this? Deductive or inductive? Hypothesis: Prediction: .. Reasoning Q4D. What do you think will happen if a few bunnies acquired a mutation that made them unable to hop or move in a snowy ecosystem with predatory lynx? Will the bunny population change with respect to that deleterious trait and why? (1 pt Q4E. Why did we change only one factor at a time in our thought experiment? Is that a true reflection of natural environments? (2 pts) Q4F. Why are selection factors important? (Hint: what happens when there are no selection factors) (1 pt) Q4G. In this exercise we used traits+ selection factor pairs (specifically, fur color + predation or ability to move + predation). Give two more traits+ selection factor pairs that can occur in nature. Don't use predation. (4 pts)Explanation / Answer
Q.4C
HYPOTHESIS- All the bunnies having the white fur will have more survival fitness.
PREDICTION-
>If the colour of the fur is white then it will be difficult for the predator to spot them in the snowy white environment.
>It will act as the perfect camouflage
REASONING- It is inductive reasoning (particular to general)
Q.4D
This deleterious mutation decrease the survival fitness of bunnies as they cannot hop or move they will be preyed easily as a result there will be decline in their population .
Q.4E
I natural environment more then one factor will be changing.Here, we took only one factor at atime to formulate the hypothesis.since the testing of hypothsis will be less complicated.
Q4 F
Selection factor is important for selecting strong individuals among population.
