Answer:

b. founder effect

Explanation:

When there is a situation when sufficient number of members of one species are reproductively isolated, and if there is an evolutionary pressure for them to start developing new advantageous traits, then a new species will gradually emerge. In this kind of scenario the genetic diversity will be minimized, as the number of individuals is much smaller, and that will result in only changes that will go in only one direction and they will also occur quicker than if there was a greater genetic diversity. This is called the founder effect, and it is easy to see why this term has been chosen, as the limited number of members of a species that have been reproductively isolated are giving the foundation for the development of a new, separate species.

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden, temporary increase in the number of prey?
alekssr [168]
The number of predators and preys change from time to time following cycles. Whenever there is fewer prey, predators start dying because they have not enough to eat; however, that provokes the population of prey to be increased while there are fewer predators. So if suddenly the number of prey gets bigger, regardless of the number of predators, the cycles get disturbed by this sudden occurrence. The predators will get more to hunt, therefore getting more violent.
