In a predator-prey system, the two species are related by: Choose all that apply.


coevolution.

character displacement.

the population cycle.

exploitation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A preditor-prey system, the 2 species are related by; co-evolution(because preditors eat prey that is available and plentiful, for example a rodent species.

also, the population cycle because rodents live for a short period of time in the wild, but reproduce quickly. example; spring and summer seasons is when food is most plentiful for all species of wildlife,

Answer 2

Answer:

In a predator-prey system, the two species are related by the population cycle.

Explanation:

A recent study was published in NATURE which demonstrated that predator prey system is related with each other through population cycle.

As the population of organisms keep on changing with time. For example mouse and rats produce 7-10 off springs in a month while snake that hunt mouse breed only seasonally once or twice a year.
