Answer:

The correct answer is density-dependent factor.

Explanation:

The factors whose influences on the growth or size of the population changes with the density of the population are known as the density-dependent factors. The availability of food, disease, predation, and migration are some types of density-dependent limiting factors.

One of the density-dependent factors in nature is predation, predation confines various populations. The population of the prey and the predator encircle towards each other, with the population of the predator somewhat lagging behind the population of the prey.

With the increase in the population of the prey, the predator gets more to eat, and thus the population of the predator increases. With the increase in the predator population, pressure imparts on the prey population and it starts to decline. The decline in the availability of the food eventually makes the population of the predator to decline. Therefore, it can be seen that both the population of the prey and the predator are affected by predation, that is, a density-dependent factor.

netineya [11]

The male fruit fly has an XY profile of the sex chromosomes, and the female has an XX profile of the sex chromosomes.
If a male is white-eyed, then it must have a white recessive allele on his only X chromosome and the red eyed female can be homozygous (having two dominant red eye alleles) or heterozygous (having both a dominant and a recessive allele).
If the female is homozygous then all of the offspring will be red-eyed, and if she's heterozygous then half of the offspring will be white eyed. (see the table provided below)
