The fur of the snowshoe rabbit is brown most of the year and turns white in winter. The change begins in the fall and is a chemi
cal response to the lessened amount of daylight, which is the same every year. Suppose there was an unusually early snowfall at the beginning of the fall. Describe the color of the rabbit's fur before and immediately after the early snowfall.
Fur will be brown both before and immediately after the early snowfall.
Explanation:
The fur colour in snowshoe rabbit is brown for most of the year and changes into the white colour only as a response to the "reduced amount of daylight" at the beginning of fall. Since early snowfall deprived the species from the required stimulus (reduced amount of daylight), fur colour would not be changed and remain same both before and after early snowfall.
