In a scenario where rats develop resistance to poison through natural selection, how can changes in the rat population over time be described in terms of slow-changing and fast-changing variables?
a) Slow-changing variables are population size, reproduction rates; Fast-changing variables are genetic mutations.
b) Slow-changing variables are genetic mutations, environmental conditions; Fast-changing variables are predator-prey interactions.
c) Slow-changing variables are environmental conditions, predator-prey interactions; Fast-changing variables are population size, reproduction rates.
d) Slow-changing variables are predator-prey interactions, genetic mutations; Fast-changing variables are environmental conditions.
