The correct answer is A - eventually a predatory species may utilize it as an energy source and its negative impact on the ecosystem will be decreased but until then, the pad trees will suffer the consequences.
An hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the
basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further
investigation.
And practically, an hypothesis is used as the basis for further experiments, where the hypothesis is rigorously tested under varying conditions. The hypothesis that is tested and modified under different conditions may become a general
theory
.The hypothesis that has the least number of variables sufficient to explain the phenomenon is preferred.
Phenotype for LL would be the dominant trait shape for the ear. Phenotype for Li would also be the dominant trait shape. Then for ii the phenotype would be the recessive option. The probability for LL is 50% probability for Li is also 50% and for ii it would be 0% based off what you have shown. Sorry I don’t know what the exact name for the recessive and dominant shape of the ear shape
The answer is most likely B, "Alcohol consumption tends to cause more [Aggressive] behavior."
