In the African savanna, more wildebeests are born than the environment can support. Which is most likely to happen over a period of years as a result? A. The chances for survival of the population are reduced. B. New food sources are discovered and become the regular diet. C. Individuals that are well suited to the environment reproduce, and those that are not well suited die before they reproduce. D. The environment adapts by providing more resources to the growing population, increasing the chances of survival for individuals within the habitat.

Step 1
This means that there are not enough resources (food, water, space) for all the wildebeests to survive. So, what could happen? A. The chances for survival of the population are reduced. This is a possibility, as there are not enough resources for all the Show more…

Cheetahs have become an endangered species due to hunting and loss of their habitat. As a result, there is now very little variation in the traits within their small populations. Which of the following is a result of the limited variation in traits in today's cheetah population compared to earlier cheetah populations that had greater variation in traits? A. Cheetahs in current populations are more resistant to new diseases. B. Cheetahs in current populations have better chances of survival today than they did in the past. C. Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to become extinct. D. Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to be able to adapt to environmental changes.
Organism population size is controlled by different types of limiting factors. The Serengeti Plains are part of the African savanna ecosystem and are home to a variety of different species of plants and animals. The Serengeti Plains experience a seven-month period of seasonal drought each year, during which the ecosystem only receives four inches of rain and the availability of some resources becomes very scarce. Which type of limiting factor is the seasonal drought in the Serengeti Plains? a. biotic factor b. abiotic factor c. habitat factor d. competitive factor
