Question

1. write a hypothesis for this chart?

Data Table 3		Graphical Data		Percentage calculations
Generation number	Number of       Long-tail Rabbits	Number of Short-tail Rabbits	Total Rabbits	% Long-tail Rabbits	% Short-tail Rabbits
2	2	54	56	3.57%	96.42%
4	2	488	490	.40%	97.6%
7	0	13	13	0%	100%
10	0	3	3	0%	100%

. Restate your hypothesis here:

4. Does the data in the table above support your hypothesis for this experiment? Be sure to use

    your data in explaining whether the hypothesis was supported or not.

5. Explain how the tail length trait was influenced by natural selection in your experiment.

   If you could not discover this from the simulation, propose a possible situation where a long tail would provide a   

     selective advantage for bunnies and explain WHY it would be an advantage.

Answer 1

The hypothesis is that the rabbits are mostly with short tails so this is a common trait. While the long tail is found in very few individuals so this is not common.

So according to the hypothesis the short tailed individuals will have a higher percentage than the long tailed rabbits.

Although you should create a hypothesis for your work by self. Then move on to the experiment. After the experiment the data is analysed according to the hypothesis.

According to the data the percentage of the short tailed rabbit is increasing with generations. This shows the selection if such individuals. So by the natural selection process, the short tail was selected in course of evolution.
