16. If the amount of quanine in a DNA molecule is 32%, the amount of thymine would be

The answer is option A i.e "32%". According to Chargraff's rule, Number of purine (adenine+guanine) = Number of pyrimidine (cytosine+thymine). Hence, the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
