Although most gray squirrels have gray fur, sometimes individuals with white or black fur are born. if a white-furred individual were born in a population of gray squirrels living in a florida forest, what would be the most likely long-term consequence of its presence for the squirrel population if the forest remained unchanged for the next several generations? the population would very quickly become predominantly white since the white squirrels would be camouflaged against the sand. the number of white squirrels in the population would slowly increase as the original white squirrel produced white offspring. the population would remain primarily gray, and the white squirrel would likely get eaten prior to adulthood. the white squirrel would draw more predators to the area since it was more visible, and many gray squirrels would get eaten.

The answer is

The population would remain primarily gray, and the white squirrel would likely get eaten prior to adulthood.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
