What is a positive effect that predators have on a prey population?

a.
they keep the prey population low so they will be less likely to deplete resources such as food, water, and shelter.

b.
predators maintain an unchanged prey population to increase the use of food, water, and shelter.

c.
they eliminate the prey population in order to maintain competition over resources such as food and water.

d.
prey are able to increase their populations and use of food, shelter, and water when predators are on the hunt.

Y’all i need answers plss people are saying me and my brother look alike although we’re two different ages. one year apart i’m a girl, btw i’m thinking we could be fraternal twins idk my parents and my friends think we look alike

How does the molecular clock work? a. it analyzes the brain functionality of two different species.b. it examines and compares the physical characteristics of two different species.c. it illustrates relationships between two different species.d. it compares the number of mutations that exist in the dna of two different species.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
