Answer: Herbivores are the primary consumers in the food chain as they feed on the producers like plants. Carnivores feed on herbivores and so they are the secondary consumers or predators of herbivores.

If the herbivore population is increased, initially there will be more availability of food for the carnivores. Due to this, the size of carnivore population increases. As a result, gradually the herbivores now start depleting and they reach to a point that they are not sufficient to feed all the predators. This eventually causes the death of predators so that again the population of herbivore can reach the equilibrium.

The carnivore population would also increase because there would be a larger food-source for carnivorous so more of them would be able to survive

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The answer is A - The populations will not be able to interbreed because they are different species and different species cannot interbreed

Explanation:

The population of birds become reproductively isolated because they are different species and different species are unable to interbreed. This is as a result of barriers which are called mechanisms of reproductive isolation which involves mechanisms, behaviors and processes that are critical for speciation. In reproductive isolation the different species are able to live in the same are but their properties and characteristics do not allow them interbreed to produce healthy and sterile offspring.
