You are helping farmers in Africa learn new methods for growing cassava. Cassava is a starchy root, like a potato, that is an important part of the diets of many people around the world, especially in Africa. But the people in your community have just lost their entire crop of cassava, again, because of a virus. People are starving. They don’t have access to other crops or herbicides. You hear of a new genetically engineered cassava plant that is resistant to the virus, and it contains improved levels of vitamins, proteins and minerals. What do you do?

the answer is d (apex) good luck : ))

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.
