Detailed explanation-1: -Rabbits and squirrels do not compete for the same food and usually don’t share the same space. They generally ignore each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some red squirrels (genus Tamiasciurus) and Sciurus species of temperate climates will stalk, kill, and eat other squirrels, mice, and adult birds and rabbits for food, but such predation in tropical tree squirrels seems rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -The foxes, hawks, and owls would have less to eat without the rabbits. As a result, fewer foxes, hawks, and owls would live in the ecosystem because there would be less food for them. The rabbit example shows that to protect an ecosystem, every part must be protected, including both the prey and the prediators.
Detailed explanation-4: -How many different fur color alleles are in this rabbit population? How many different genotypes are in this rabbit population? There are two alleles for fur color–F and f. The FF and Ff genotypes give rise to the completely brown fur phenotype.
