- Which of the following does not increase the rate of adaptive radiation? A Competition for resources. Short generation times. C)A major environmental change. Two species that produce only infertile offspring.arrow_forwardWhy might captive-breeding programs that reintroduce species into natural environments fail?arrow_forward2) If this model continues, with no major changes to the environment, what do you expect to happen? XA) Rabbits will continue to get lighter over time. There is no way to predict because mutations are random. B) edator 9) D) Mutations will all die out leaving only the original fur color. Dark gray fur will become the common phenotype because it favors survival.arrow_forward
