Arctic foxes typically have a white coat in the winter. In summer, when there is no snow on the ground, the foxes typically have a darker coat. Which of the following is most likely responsible for the seasonal change in coat color?

Select one:

The decrease in the amount of daylight in winter causes a change in gene expression, which results in the foxes growing a lighter appearing
coat.

The diet of the foxes in summer lacks a particular nutrient, which causes the foxes to lose their white coat and grow a darker colored
coat.

Competition for mates in the spring causes each fox to increase its camouflage with the environment by producing a darker appearing
coat.

The lower temperatures in winter denature the pigment molecules in the arctic fox coat, causing the coat to become lighter in color.

Select one:

Competition for mates in the spring causes each fox to increase its camouflage with the environment by producing a darker appearing coat.

The diet of the foxes in summer lacks a particular nutrient, which causes the foxes to lose their white coat and grow a darker colored coat.

The decrease in the amount of daylight in winter causes a change in gene expression, which results in the foxes growing a lighter appearing coat.

The lower temperatures in winter denature the pigment molecules in the arctic fox coat, causing the coat to become lighter in color.
