- In a forest in Minnesota and North Carolina, the white clover is very popular. The white clover has 2 different variations. One of the variations has entirely green leaves, while the other has green leaves with white stripes. The source of this variation in the white clover is cyanide, a genetic variation that also happens to be a powerful poison.
- The environment is a big factor in why the stripped and plain white clover grow where they grow. In North Carolina the weather is warmer and there's a higher precipitation rate which helps the stripped clover because they need more energy to grow due to their genetic variation. There's also very little threat to them as herbivores don't eat them. In Minnesota the weather is not as warm and the yearly average precipitation isn't as high as North Carolina which isn't favorable to the stripped clover. The presence of herbivores is also low which makes Minnesota a favorable place for plain clover
- Since the dark brown rabbits are fast and hard to see, they are harder to be caught by predators. The light brown rabbits do not blend in, so they are seen easier. They are also sleepy, very slow, and are fatter than the dark brown ones.
- Most of the lighter colored rabbits got eaten since they were fatter and more appetizing to the fox. They also were slower, and easier to be seen, so the fox could catch them easily. The darker rabbits were the exact opposite of the light ones, so they survived.
- In North Carolina The stripped clover has a better chance of survival and better fitness. This is because of herbivore in north carolina is larger, activer, and present all year long resulting in the plain clover not being able to reproduce better. North Carolina also has a higher averge yearly precipitation rate than Minnesota which helps the stripped clover with the energy they need to grow and reproduce.
- Eventually, only the dark rabbits survived in the forest since they were the best adapted to the environment. The light ones were caught by the fox. Now, the good traits are passed down from the dark ones, to their offspring, showing natural selection.
