Answer:
Reading graphs: The variable plotted on the x-axis is year while the two variables plotted on y-axis are both wolves and moose.
Interpreting variables: The population of moose rose from 800 to 1550 between 1965-1972 while the population of wolves rose from 24 to 43 between 1973-1976.
inferring: The change in population of moose might cause a change in wolves population as a result of the feeding pattern of wolves, perhaps the contest between them was affected by availability of another prey which allows the predator (wolves) to feed on another prey, hence increasing the population of moose.
Conclusion: The dip in population of moose between 1974 and 1981 could be attributed to voracious feeding pattern the predator (wolves) had on the prey (moose) which inturns allows the dip in population during the above mentioned years.
Predicting: If there is a disease infection in wolves, then there would be an increase in the population of moose the next year as a result of disruption in the predator-prey contest, hence; allows one to be more populated the following year.
Explanation:
From the above assertions, it could be deduced that only when the feeding pattern of the predator (wolves) changes then the population of the prey would either be reduced or increased.
Biotic Factors are any living components that affect other organisms, and since soil is not alive (soil is an abiotic factor) then you can eliminate A., B., and C. D is the answer choice that has only biotic examples.
The pit that marks the location of the umbilical cord after birth is known as the navel or belly button. All animals that grow placenta during fetal development will have a navel or belly button. The scientific name of the structure is the umbillicus. It can be a depression in some individuals or raised in others.
