Answer:

The correct answer is a: The community was under top-down control

Explanation:

Top-down control refers to scenarios where superior predators control the structure and dynamic of an ecosystem. These systems are affected by the presence/absence of the superior predator influences all the lower links in the trophic chain.  

In the exposed example wolves, that are considered to be the top predators, affected the white-tailed deer populations being the cause of its decrease.  As wolves used to feed on white-tailed deer, they kept these populations under control, but once the wolves got extinct, the deer population increased again. Probably, this explosion in the deer´s population also affected its lower link in the trophic chain.

Butoxors [25]

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury. Different cells grow and die at different rates. Some cells, such as epithelial<span>epithelialA thin layer of epithelial cells that makes up the outer surfaces of the body (the skin) and lines hollow organs, glands and all passages of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems.</span> cells, reproduce quickly. Other cells, like nerve cells, grow slowly. Both normal cells and cancer cells go through a sequence of steps, or phases, when they form new cells. This is called the cell cycle.
