Consider a population of snowshoe hares in montana. their fur color changes in response to changes in day length. during the long summer days, they have brown fur, but as the days shorten in the fall, their fur turns white in preparation for winter. then as the days get longer in the spring, their fur turns brown again. their fur coloration acts as camouflage from predators.
as climate change brings warmer fall temperatures to montana, colder temperatures with snowfall are coming later in the year, and there may be less snowfall overall. as a result, the hares' fur color may be mismatched to the color of their surroundings, making them more visible to predators.
which snowshoe hares would have a reproductive advantage in this changing environment?
(a) hares that change color in response to day length, as the current population does
(b) hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from brown to white
(c) hares with a mutation that causes them to change color in response to temperature rather than day length
(d) hares with a mutation that prevents them from changing color from white to brown

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.
