The correct answer is option (C) Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators.

Camouflage is an adaptation by organisms allowing them to blend with the environment. This helps them in surviving or escaping from their predators. It can be throught coloration or developing a particular pattern or mimicry.

The example given above is a type of camouflage through concealing coloration. Concealing coloration includes having a fixed camouflage and changing the camouflage depending on the environment. Grey rabbits cannot exhibit camouflage as the backgroud is dark rocks and light stones. As a result, these rabbits are clearly visible to the predators and get elimiated by them.

Describe the four structural roles of the skeletal system.<br> The Human SKELETAL SYSTEM
makkiz [27]

Answer:

1. Support

2. Protection

3. Movement

4. Supply & Storage

Explanation:

1. Support :  It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.  

2. Protection:  It protects our internal organs.  The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).

3. Movement:  It provides a framework for muscles to attach.  Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.

4. Supply & Storage:  The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.
