A) This is predator-prey relationship.
B) Species A is prey and species B is predator.
- If prey population decreases in number, the predator population will also decrease because there is not enough food for predators to survive and vice versa.
- If predator population decreases, the prey population will increase because less prey will be eaten by predators and vice versa.
C) Let population A be Zebras, and population B Lions.
From the graph, at the beginning the there is increase in Lions, as well as in smaller rate in Zebras. At one point, the population of Lions begins to decrease, so they will eat less Zebras. This will allow Zebras to increase population. With more Zebras on the menu, more Lions will eat and increase their chance to survive. This leads to decrease in Zebra population. But again, with less Zebras, the Lion population must decrease allowing Zebra population to increase, and so on.
Answer:
a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.
b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.
d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.
Explanation:
The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.
Answer: Systematics
Explanation:
Systematics is the study of diversity of organisms including past and present and relationships among living things. Systematics as analytical approach, help us to understand the diversity and relatedness of both existing and extinct organisms. Systematics is also important in carrying out the conservation issues because, it attempts to explain the biodiversity which is related to different kinds of species and could be used in preservation and protect the endangered animals and plants.
