Due to natural selection , if the predator of the gazelle declines, then the prey the gazelles will increase since there isn't many cheetahs killing them anymore.
the second should be competition, since there will be more gazelles needing to eat.

<u>Answer</u>: first blank - increase

second blank - competition

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • As the population of cheetahs decrease due to the disease the population of gazelles would increase. This is because the cheetahs feed on gazelles, now when the population of cheetahs decline the predation of gazelles would decrease and hence, they will <em>increase</em> in number.
  • Now, that the population of gazelles is increasing and they feed on grasses and shrubs for food , they will compete with other herbivores as they will also depend on the same shrubs and grasses. So the <em>competition</em> between the gazelles and herbivores <em>increases</em>.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Change in food source.

Explanation:

If there is a change in food source, then the organism will have to adapt to that change. For example, with Darwin's Theory on the finches on the Galapagos Islands. There were many different varieties from different size to different beaks. This was because of changes on food sources and they adapted to obtain them more.
