Answer:

Option D,whether the mutation makes some wolves more fit for their environment than other wolves

Explanation:

Mutation creating a new fur color in the wolf population will continue to persists in the ecosystem only when it makes the wolf population more fit to survive in the prevailing environmental conditions.

For instance , if the new fur color makes wolf appear as a violent species to its predators then as per the theory of natural selection more and more wolf will interbreed with colorful fur wolf species to produce offspring that are able to cope up with the environment and emerge as the fittest of all.

Hence, option D is correct

D. is correct.  If the mutation makes the wolves more fit for their environment, they will thrive and the presence of that trait will go up.

Kay [80]
When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.

why does an advantageous trait increase in a population over time? key terms: variation, population, gene pool, fitness, relativ
MrMuchimi

Evolution is the gradual process resulting in the changes in the genetic material of a population over generations. The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution which increases the frequency of advantageous alleles in a population.  Due to the limited resources in nature, organism with heritable traits favoring their survival and reproduction produce more offspring. It causes the population to become adapted to their environment and results in organisms with better survival ability and reproduction. These traits become heritable due to the reproductive advantage and are passed from the parents to the offspring. Over generations, the advantageous heritable trait becomes dominant in the population. It is responsible for the variation in the gene pool of the population which increases their fitness.
