Heredity

Environmental factors are determining how the rabbits' genotype is expressed

Mutations have altered the rabbits genotypes in the differing environments

Cross-breeding with different species has created rabbits of different appearances

The genotype adapts to the different environments and that change is then expressed through the phenotype

The plant maintains the same leaf size regardless of sunlight exposure.

The plant exhibits a genetic mutation leading to variegated leaf color.

The plant produces flowers only during short-day conditions.

The plant develops larger leaves in low-light conditions.

Employing chemosynthesis by oxidizing inorganic substances for energy production without oxygen.

Through photophosphorylation utilizing light energy to generate ATP without oxygen.

By undergoing fermentation to convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide.

By utilizing oxygen to efficiently convert glucose into ATP via aerobic respiration.

Short-term dominance by fast-growing grass species.

Temporary rise in populations of herbivorous animals.

The reestablishment of pioneer species that enrich soil nutrients.

Increased sunlight penetration immediately following tree loss.

Temperature

Enzyme activity levels remain constant across populations despite temperature fluctuations since they are highly conserved proteins.

All members of a species experience spontaneous mutations granting them thermostable enzymes when exposed temporarily to higher temperatures.

Populations living in hotter climates have enzymes that function optimally at higher temperatures, reflecting genetic adaptation over generations.

Individuals within cooler climates evolve heat-resistant enzymes despite no direct advantage or selective pressure being present.

As temperatures get warmer, more females will be born and male birth rates will decrease

As temperatures get lower, more females will be born and male birth rates will decrease

As temperatures get warmer, more males will be born and female birth rates will decrease
