A student wants to know the effect a mutation might have on a species’ survival. The change causes a rabbit to have mottled (spotted) brown fur. The student runs a computer simulation for ten generations. What possible conclusions can you draw? Choose ALL that apply. Question 2 options:

Evolution occurred because the allele frequency changed over time.

Evolution is not occurring, mutation just introduced a new trait in the gene pool.

The rabbits with mottled brown fur have a selective advantage that gives them more camouflage from predators.

The mottled brown fur mutation is neutral because the other fur color traits still appear in the rabbit population.

The mutation had a positive effect, allowing those rabbits with the mottled brown fur to survive and reproduce better than those with the brown or white fur.

The gene that causes sickle-cell disease is present in a higher percentage of residents of sub-saharan africa than among those of african descent living in the united states. even though this gene causes sickle-cell disease, it also provides some protection from malaria, a serious disease that is widespread in sub-saharan africa but absent in the united states. discuss an evolutionary process that could account for the different percentages of the sickle-cell gene among residents of the two regions.
