Question

1. your simulation should be paused at generation 3. now lets click on the wolves under the environmental factors.
2. click play and the click pause when it gets to generation 6.
3. what happened to the bunny population?

○ it just decreased as the wolves ate all the bunnies.
○ it increased.
○ it decreased, then it increased, and repeated this over and over.

Explanation:

In predator - prey dynamics (a concept in Biology, which is a subfield of Natural Science), when there are wolves (predators) and bunnies (prey), the bunny population typically shows a cyclical pattern. As wolves eat bunnies, the bunny population decreases. Then, with fewer bunnies, the wolf population may decrease due to lack of food, which allows the bunny population to increase again, and this cycle repeats. The first option is incorrect because wolves won't eat all bunnies (as that would lead to the collapse of the wolf population too), and the second option is incorrect as the presence of predators should cause an initial decrease. So the correct description is the cyclical change.

Answer:

The option: It decreased, then it increased, and repeated this over and over.
