*See attached digaram for the good web being refffered to

Options:

A. Grasses and ants

B. Ants and grasshoppers

C. Grasshoppers and Texas cottonmouths

D. Texas cottonmouths and red-shouldered hawks

Answer:

B. Ants and grasshoppers

Explanation:

Looking at the partial Texas food web that is given below in the diagram attached, it shows that the Texas horned lizard feeds mainly on ants and grasshopper as a secondary consumer in the food web. As a result of this, the population of ants and grasshoppers would be often put in check and regulated.

However, if a disease suddenly reduces the population of the Texas horned lizard, it means that ants and grasshoppers won't be heavily preyed on anymore, since the population of their major predator has now been reduced.

Therefore, a reduction in the population of Texas horned lizard would result in the increase in the population of ants and grasshoppers.

In order for evolution to occur, what must happen in a population?
kozerog [31]
For evolution to occur: There must be genetic variation in a population. This provides variation on which natural selection can act. Then natural selection can act by selecting those species which are better adapted to the environmental conditions. Over time those animals that are best suited to the environment only will survive and reproduce. Those organisms successful genes will be preserved and eventually the gene frequency in the population will change, changing the overall characteristics of a population. This is how evolution occurs.
