Mike is studying the phylogenetic tree for big cats. A big cat phylogenetic tree is shown. A bracket goes to clouded leopard and to another bracket. That bracket goes to 2 additional brackets. One bracket goes to tiger and snow leopard. The other bracket goes to janguar and another bracket. The other bracket has lion and leopard. He made several statements about the tree. Which statement is not true? The leopard is more closely related to the jaguar than to the snow leopard. The leopard is more closely related to the tiger than to the clouded leopard. The leopard is more closely related to the snow leopard than to the clouded leopard. The leopard is more closely related to the tiger than to the snow leopard.

The leopard is more closely related to the snow leopard than to the clouded leopard.

Explanation:

Hope it helps.

answer;

a. sheep consumption efficiency would be reduced.

explanation;

-trophic efficiency is a measure of how much energy occurs at one level divided by the energy at the level immediately below it . trophic efficiency incorporates three types of efficiency:

-the proportion of available energy that is consumed (consumption efficiency).   it is the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by consumers.

-the proportion of ingested food that is assimilated (assimilation efficiency).

-the proportion of assimilated food that goes into new consumer biomass (production efficiency).

-in this case, the grasshoppers would affect sheep by reducing the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by the sheep.
