As you know, many mammalian species undergo seasonal molts (shedding and replacement of fur) which change their fur colors from

brown to white. The snowshoe hare, Lepus americanus, typically undergoes the molt in late fall, which changes their fur color from brown to white. In the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), populations of snowshoe hares have been identified in which some individuals molt from brown to white in the fall, while other individuals molt from brown to brown.Provide a proximate explanation for this phenomenon.

Answer:

Due to changing climatic condition, snowhare do not need further insulation and hence they change their fur coat color from brown to brown only.

Also, the risk of predation has reduced

Explanation:

The characteristics of seasonal color coat are observed in animals living in temperate and Polar Regions to protect themselves against the extreme climate.  

Mammals living in northern hemisphere, change their fur color from brown (in summer) to white (in winter) in order to camouflage against the snow. However, it is noticed that some snowshoe hare change their fur color form brown to brown again. This fact is yet not clear but there can be two postulates to explain this  

1. The brown coat snowshoe hare do not need further insulation  

2. These brown snowshoe hare are no more worried of predation risk which they generally reduce by changing fur color

Correct option b) A saturated fatty acid

When only one double bond in the molecules that is also known as monounsaturated fat. If there is more than one double bond that is known as polyunsaturated fat.

Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more than one carbon- carbon band  double bonds. That indicates the maximum possible numbers of hydrogen atoms are bonds to each carbon in the molecule. These carbon  form double bonds with the carbons next to them.

Alkenes contain carbon- carbon double bonds and unsaturated hydrocarbons with the molecular formula is Cn H2n. This is made of chains where some carbon atoms are not fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.
