Scientists have been studying four populations in a swamp area. In this area, alligators eat gar (a type of large fish), and both gar and diving ducks eat crabs. The data showed that recently the alligator population has decreased. How could the decrease in the alligator population affect the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the gar population, the diving duck population, and the crab population will change, and why.

1. true.2. true.3. true.4. false.5. true.the concept of darwin's theory of evolution involves the idea that there are limited resources in a given living environment and that the organisms which live within have variations in their genetic make up due to random mating. the ones with beneficial genetic variations can express certain traits which give them an upper hand in surviving and reproducing in the said environment compared to ones who may have a more disadvantageous variation in traits. over time, the organisms with an upper hand will survive and reproduce more frequently and pass on their beneficial genes while the others die. the result is evolution, where we observe (usually, but not always) eventually, phenotypic distinct changes.
