Which of these is an example of how an abiotic factor affects a biotic factor?

Question

(1 point)
• Taming of a wild animal, like Cockatoo, for commercial purposes.
• A fungus infects the population of frogs causing a population decline.
• An increase in rainfall leads to an increase in frog population.
• An increase in fruit flies population leads to increase in spider population.

Answer 1

The example that illustrates how an abiotic factor affects a biotic factor is:

• An increase in rainfall leads to an increase in frog population.

In this case, rainfall (abiotic factor) affects the conditions in which frogs (biotic factor) thrive, presumably by influencing their habitat conditions, availability of water sources, and food supply.
