The species was a keystone species.
Keystone species are the species that ''hold the ecosystem together''.
They have an important role in the trophic networks (food chains) and often they can even afflict changes in the abiotic part of the ecosystem (change the composition of soil, purify the water, lower the effect of the wind etc)
Therefore, when a keystone species is removed it affects greatly the whole ecosystem.
For the generalized scheme of Alternation of generations (see p. 120), plants have two forms based on a genetic complement that are the Sporophytes (2N diploid) and Gametophyte (N haploid). The processes connecting the two stages are gametangia producing haploid spores and zygote cell growth producing haploid gametophyte. Group of answer choices
An increase in a predator population will directly result in THE DECREASE IN THE PREY POPULATION.
Predation is a biological interaction where one organism feed over another organism and the other organism is harmed. The organism benefited is called predator while the one harmed is called prey. Predator is generally bigger in size than the prey. If the population of predator is increasing it will lead to the decrease in the population of prey as more predators will feed on the prey.
