In natural ecosystems, the presence of predators lessens the effects of _________________ among the prey.. .

Answers

The answer is competition.

Competition is an interaction between organisms. If resources, such as food, water, sunlight, territory, are limited and several species depend on these resources, then, they must compete with other species to gain the resources. So, if predators are present, this means that they will maintain the size of prey population on some optimal level. With fewer individuals in the population, there will be less competition for resources.
Therefore, In natural ecosystems, the presence of predators lessens the effects of competition among the prey.

Answer: is competition

To get a recessive trait, they have to receive one of each from each parent. So in this case, they would be getting one form each parent which would likely give an equal chance of getting either the dominant or recessive trait. Thanks my theory, but hope it helps?

A population of turtles was introduced to an island that is favorable for the turtles to inhabit. Describe what the population graph would look like for this turtle population over time and provide reasoning as to why the population would show this type of growth.

Answers

Answer:

The turtles would flourish in the ecosystem. The graph would be curved up and it would even out at the carrying capacity.

Explanation:

If the island is favorable for the turtles, that means that they will survive well and be able to reproduce and carry on the population. Of course, there is a limit to how much resources a population can have so it would even out eventually, making the graph show statistical growth.
