Question

This graph shows how the lynx and snowshoe hare populations can vary over time. How would the snowshoe hare population change if hunters killed most of the lynxes? A. It would increase. B. It would decrease. C. It would stay the same. D. The snowshoe hare would become extinct.

Answer 1

The lynx population would increase. This is because the lynxes eat the snowshoe hares, and if there aren't a lot of lynxes, they would mate more and in turn increase the population. Hope this helps!
