Scenario #1: Suppose there is a population of rabbits. The color of the rabbits is governed by two

incompletely dominant traits: black fur represented by "B" and white fur represented by "b". A rabbit

with the genotype of "BB" would have a phenotype of black fur, a genotype of "Bb" would have gray

fur (a display of both black and white) and a genotype of "bb" would have a phenotype of white fur.

What type of selection would occur if this population migrated to an area that had very dark rocks as

well as white colored stone?

Gray cannot blend. Dark rocks let black fur blend in. White sones can blend with white fur. Gray would stick out and then not survive. Population of black and white would go up, and then the gray would go down.
