Answer:

The correct answer is - the affinity of hemoglobin for O2 has decreased.

Explanation:

The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or hemoglobin dissociation curve is the graphical representation of the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated form on the y-axis against the prevailing oxygen tension P0 on the x-axis.

A shift of the curve to the right side indicates the hemoglobin has a reduced or less oxygen affinity. It occurs in cases where oxygen needs to be released such as the placenta for breathing of the fetus and muscles.

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)
