Mashutka [201]3 years ago

Answer:

Prey population explosion

Explanation:

If a major predator is removed from the ecosystem, it will disturb the predator-prey relationship in the ecosystem that will result in the direct increase in the prey population. This phenomenon is called population explosion where there is no check and balance on the prey population.

For example, if there is a major predator in the forest ecosystem it will feed on herbivores and keep their population at a certain level. This is called predator-prey balance where predators kill prey which in-turn cause food scarcity for predators and leads to a decrease in predator population too. So if any major predator is removed from ecosystem it will disturb this intricate balance.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

The correct answer is case control study.

Explanation:

A study in which a comparison is made between the patients carrying the disease with the patients not carrying the disease is known as the case-control study. In the mentioned study, the one carrying the disease is termed as cases, and the one that does not possess the disease is termed as controls.  

This form of study is generally done to predict the association between the disease and the risk factor. In case-control studies, only observation is done as no attempt is made to change the course of the condition. The prime objective of the study is to predict the exposure of the risk elements for the individuals present in two groups, that is, controls and cases. This form of study is also called case-referent studies or retrospective studies.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

By analyzing a pedigree, we can determine genotypes, identify phenotypes, and predict how a trait will be passed on in the future. The information from a pedigree makes it possible to determine how certain alleles are inherited: whether they are dominant, recessive, autosomal, or sex-linked.
