Imagine a single population of light gray rabbits exists. The above steps occur over many decades. What COULD BE the result of the steps you see here? All but one is possible.

A) The founder species becomes extinct.

B) Mutation is the only source of genetic variation.

C) One species becomes two through natural selection.

D) Specific traits supports survival in changing conditions.

The answer is B.

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
