(WILL GIVE BRAINLIST) Rabbits are very popular domesticated animals, so popular that there are over 300 breeds of domesticated rabbits in the world. You attend a rabbit show and notice that all of the breeds vary in many characteristics, such as size, color, and fur length. You notice that there is weight information on the cages of all rabbit individuals at the show and decide to jot down data for two specific rabbit breeds (in pounds):

Breed A: 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, 9
Breed B: 10, 12, 14, 13, 10, 15, 11, 12

In three to five sentences, 1) calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups, 2) describe some factors that could contribute to the different weights seen within breeds, and 3) describe how you would track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation.​


Sagot :

The average weights for A is 9 pounds and the average weight for B = 12,125 pounds. factors that can influence are parental genotype.

1) Average weights

Breed A: 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, 9

Average: (10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9) / 8 = 72 / 8 = 9 pounds.

Breed B: 10, 12, 14, 13, 10, 15, 11, 12

Average: (10 + 12 + 14 + 13 + 10 + 15 + 11 + 12) / 8 = 97 / 8 = 12.125 pounds.

2) Influencing factors

The main factors that influence the distribution of a species are mainly related to the dispersal capacity, behavior (habitat selection), the presence of other species and physicochemical factors.

3)Track the grownth rate

To track the growth rate, we could consider both genetic factors and non-genetic factors.

Non-genetic factors refer to parental conditions prior to mating and external environmental factors.

Genetic factors are related to the genotypes of the parents. Progeny inherit alleles from their parents, and combinations of alleles determine the size and weight of individuals.

With this information, we can conclude that the average weight for  A is 9 pounds and the average weight for B = 12,125 pounds. Factors that can influence are parental genotype, female size, number of births, feeding, competition, Genetic and non-genetic factors.
