No. Scientists have never predicted a earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

Answer:
By preventing the synthesis of DNA halting cell growth.
Explanation:
Fluorouracil and methotraxate prevent the synthesis of the neucleoside Thymidine thus preventing DNA replication and elongation. Methotraxate has a structure analogous to Folic acid which is important for thymidine synthesis. Thus, it acts as a competitive inhibitor on dihdrofolate reductase an enzyme that is essential for tetrahydrofolate formation, a folic acid derivative.
Fluorouracil acts by inhibiting thymidylate synthase which catalyses an essential step in Thymidine synthesis.
One big reason for this is because individuals of the same species often have to fight over shared resources (this means shared food and shared environment).
Because they fight over a limited amount of space and food, competition between individuals within one species can be present and very tough.
On the other hand, having members of different species also possibly means different territories and different food sources. A lion has no quarrel with dolphins, while it can have a lot of fights with lions from different prides (large group of lions).
