A population of rabbits was threatened with overpopulation until cats were imported to reduce their numbers. Some rabbit offspring had traits that increased the likelihood of their surviving and reproducing. Over a couple of years there were fewer rabbits, but the average running speed of the rabbits had increased. This is an example of: Mutation O Natural selection O Inheritance of acquired characteristics Genetic drift
