Up until now, no characteristics or qualities have been assigned to the predators and prey. Suggest a trait of the prey and a tr

ait of the predators that might account for the results of your model. How do the results of your model help explain the process of natural selection in a predator-prey relationship?

Answer:

Predator foraging traits include;

  • body size (mass or length),
  • gape size,
  • hunting or foraging mode (for example, ambush or active hunting), and
  • feeding mode (for example, chewing or suctorial) .

Prey vulnerability traits include;

  • body size (length and mass),
  • body shape,
  • defense (for example, physical or chemical protection),
  • ability to avoid detection (crypsis or camouflage),
  • mobility,
  • ability to recognize and detect predators, and
  • evasive or escape behavior (which can be elicited by physiological trait responses.

But whether or not predators engage with prey, or prey respond to predators in the first place, depends fundamentally on their relative body sizes (or predator gape and prey body shape). Pursuing prey that are too large or cumbersome can be harmful or energetically costly to predators, and pursuing prey that are too small may not be worth the energetic return.

As these populations continue to reproduce over time, the actions of natural selection can also change the species to make them better predators, or more defensive prey. Either way, this adaptation changes the entire predator prey dynamic. If one species cannot then adapt an appropriate defense, they may go extinct.

Explanation:

Hope it helps.

A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.

What is the job of a nucleus cell
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

This organelle has two major functions: it stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include growth, intermediary metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division). Only the cells of advanced organisms, known as eukaryotes, have a nucleus.

Tail length in mice varies within a population. Scientists observed change in the distribution of tail lengths in a mouse popula
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Not passed along or it is recessive

Explanation:

There are two reasons for the shift in tail length in mice. The first reason could be that the tail length of mice is a recessive trait. In a population where there are also dominant traits, these traits may not show but still be in the population via the heterozygous individuals. The second reason that there may be fewer mice with short tails is that this phenotype causes some survival incompatibility that they may not survive to reproductive years or are not chosen by other mice to cross with. The short tail then does not get passes on.
