If they're more diverse they adapt faster to changing conditions meaning the population is less likely to diminish in the event of a change in their ecosystem.
Phenotypes are the physical characteristics that result from the genotype, which is the genetic makeup of the organism. In this case, either straight hairline or Widow's peak will be the phenotype, as they are the physical characteristics being discussed.
The questions states that a Widow's peak is dominant over straight hairline. So we are going to assume that the Widow's peak allele is W (dominant), and the straight hairline allele is w (recessive).
A dominant allele will mask the presence of a recessive allele unless both of the alleles are both recessive (both ww).
So for the WW genotype, we are going to see the dominant phenotype: Widow's peak.
For the Ww genotype, we are also going to see the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele is going to mask the presence of the recessive allele, so we are going to see: Widow's peak.
Lastly, for the ww genotype, we are going to now see the recessive phenotype, since both alleles are recessive: straight hairline. Note that their are two of these type of offspring as stated in the question.
Answer:
The prey population, the rabbits, and the predator population, the foxes, directly rely on one another. As the rabbit population grows, more food becomes available for the fox population to grow, therefore the fox population grows. The rabbit population now has more predators, but an assumed constant amount of food, causing the rabbit population to fall. The rabbit population falls and less food becomes available for the fox population, so the fox population falls. Both the predator and prey species are majorly responsible for the carrying capacities of the other species.
