This kind of modeling is known as (D) simulation. A computer program is used to simulate an environment, in this case, the zoo. Instead of having to do an actual experiment which harms real animals, a simulation is done to cut costs and avoid using live samples.
it would affect the growth curves because you see if a bacteria affects predators (that hunt and eat preys) the number of predators would decrease as they would be killed by the infection
Less predators means more preys as they aren’t hunted down as much so they growth curve for preys would be positive while for predators it would be negative
Anything that relates to sexual reproduction (gametes coming together to fertilize) should be crossed off.
Not much context was provided but you can look back to some other questions I've answered, I have a full in-depth answer to the same question another person had.
