Question

Q1.10. You now turn your attention again to the lower intertidal zone. Individuals of all three species can survive there in the absence of the others, and all three species settle there at the same rate. If a predator were present that fed only on Species C, which of the following patterns could you reasonably expect to observe? Fewer individuals of Species C would be present, but the individuals of Species A and B would still be rare. Fewer individuals of Species C would be present. Species B would dominate the region because it is better adapted to the lower intertidal zone than is Species A. Fewer individuals of Species C would be present. Species A would dominate the region because it is the best adapted of all three species. Fewer individuals of Species C would be present. You would an expect an increase in the number of individuals of Species A, Species B, or both, but you can't predict which would dominate.

Explanation / Answer
