Females tend to be the choosier sex when it comes to selecting a mate, part- ly because males can produce millions of sperm, whereas females' eggs are few and far between. Thus, females may be more selective because they have more invested in each gamete and in the re- sulting offspring.
The correct answer is C) 70/x.
To calculate doubling time, rule of 70 formula is used. For this the annual growth rate of the population is required. In this question growth rate is given x. Thus, doubling time = 70/ growth rate.
Therefore, doubling time = 70/x.
Answer:
D. The fox population would decrease
Explanation:
The food web shows that the gray wolves population are the only population that prey on the moose population. If the gray wolves were removed, the population of moose would increase significantly and would dominate the ecosystem. This means that other herbivores won't be able to compete with the moose population for the forages and vegetation in the ecosystem. The population of the other primary consumers/herbivores will reduce also. By implication, the fox which depend on other smaller preys to feed on would not have much prey to feed on. The ultimate effect of the removal of the gray wolves would lead to a later decrease in the population of the fox
