There must always be a higher population of predators than prey in order for both populations to survive.
Accurate – There must always be a higher population of predators than prey in order for both populations to survive.
Inaccurate – There must always be a higher population of predators than prey in order for both populations to survive.
The two populations have no affect on each other. The fluctuations are just random.
Accurate – The two populations have no affect on each other. The fluctuations are just random.
Inaccurate – The two populations have no affect on each other. The fluctuations are just random.
A decrease in the prey population would cause a decrease in the predator population because competition between the predators would increase as it becomes harder to find food.
Accurate – A decrease in the prey population would cause a decrease in the predator population because competition between the predators would increase as it becomes harder to find food.
Inaccurate – A decrease in the prey population would cause a decrease in the predator population because competition between the predators would increase as it becomes harder to find food.
An increase in the prey population would cause an increase in the predator population because there would be more food available for the predators

Answer 1

Accurate – An increase in the prey population would cause an increase in the predator population because there would be more food available for the predators.

Answer 2

what’s the other abswers

Answer 3

Inaccurate – There must always be a higher population of predators than prey in order for both populations to survive. The graph does not show this relationship as the predator population lags behind the prey population.
Inaccurate – The two populations have no affect on each other. The fluctuations are just random. The graph clearly shows that there is a relationship between the populations, as the predator population follows the fluctuations of the prey population.
Inaccurate – A decrease in the prey population would cause a decrease in the predator population because competition between the predators would increase as it becomes harder to find food. The graph shows that a decrease in the prey population leads to a decrease in the predator population.
Accurate – An increase in the prey population would cause an increase in the predator population because there would be more food available for the predators.
