As an experiment, Dr. Charles Someone released bunnies on an island where there were no natural predators and plenty of food and good bunny habitat. Before he released them, he noticed that the population had an equal number of bunnies with great heat resistance and bunnies without good heat resistance. Since the island was very hot, he suspected that evolution would occur to make the heat resistant allele more abundant than the heat susceptible allele. He comes back after many years and observes the bunnies, only to find that the heat resistant bunnies are not the majority. In fact, the alleles for the susceptibility vastly outnumber the ones for resistance. What is going on? Choose the best answer. O a. Random chance, and not evolution. Evolution only happens with beneficial alleles O b. Random chance, and evolution. Evolution can happen with beneficial or deleterious alleles O c. Natural selection must be choosing the susceptible bunnies for a reason O d. None of these
