Question

True or false a disease that wiped out a rabbit population in an environment would affect the coyote population in the same environment

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If the population of rabbits decreases or has been wiped out, then the predators which consume them, will eventually suffer from starvation. It should be taken into account the trophic networks concept, which basically refers to all the biological an non-biological interactions among species on a specific environment. Moreover, when these interactions or relationships are suddenly cut or interrupted, the dependent species (in this case the coyotes) will be affected because of the lack of their food (rabbits).

Answer 2

TRUE. A disease that wiped out a rabbit population in an environment would affect the coyote population in the same environment.

Rabbits are the food source of the coyote. If they are wiped out, the coyote will starve and slowly die out.
