16. On a yachting trip in the South Pacific, you discover a previously unknown island. You notice that there is a population of especially fluffy and particularly cute long-eared rabbits living there. These rabbits seem to have no predators at all on the island, and their mating habits seem to be perfectly random. When they are first surveyed, they have an average ear length of about 18 cm. When they are sampled again in five years, what will likely be true of their ear length

Answer: Their ear length will be thesame because there's no force of evolution.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question as we are informed that the rabbits have no predators and that their mating habits seem to be perfectly random.

We should note that when they are sampled again in five years, due to the fact that there's no source of evolution, their ear length will be thesame. Also, their offspring number will be thesame as well.
