Question

Imagine a population of rabbits with fur color that ranges from black to white. If this population were put in an area that has dark rocks that camouflage the black rabbits, as well as light stones that hide the white rabbits, what would most likely happen to the gray rabbits?
Gray rabbits would blend into either environment.
Gray rabbits would adapt to have black fur.
Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators.
Gray rabbits would mutate to white fur.

Answer 1

Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators

Answer 2

Answer:

Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators.

Explanation:

Camouflage is a defense mechanism in which a prey blends with the color of its background so that it could evade a possible attack by its predator. In the area described in this question, the black rabbits will not be easily visible to the predator because of the presence of black rocks while light stones will provide aegis to white rabbits. But, due to the lack of any grey background in the area, grey rabbits will be easily visible to the predators as a result of which they will be eliminated from the area.
