Ascientist conducted an experiment to determine the effect of environment on the color of fur of a himalayan rabbit. the himalayan rabbit typically has a white coat except for its colder nose, feet, tail, and ears, which are black. the black hair allows the rabbit to absorb more heat and keep these extremities warm. the scientist shaved an area of hair on the back of each rabbit, then placed an ice pack over the shaved area on only rabbit
a. the scientists kept the area chilled with an ice pack until the hair had grown back on both rabbit's backs.
