Aspecies of rabbit lives in a meadow where grass plants are readily available during summer months. the rabbits do not stray far from the meadow because the plants supply food and protection from predators. one summer, a fire destroys the plants in the meadow. as a result of the absence of plants in the meadow, the rabbit population will probably a) decrease in size. b) increase and flourish. c) increase reproduction. d) switch to a different type of food.

In the mentioned case, the rabbit population surely:

A) decrease in size.

Explanation:

In the case provided where the source of food and shelter decreases due to the fire, the rabbit population will surely decrease, since in the absence of food only those who have the ability to move away from the area that was their home and look for new meadows will be able to survive, making that those older or the young cannot survive, additionally, even if there is a continuous mating between them, the lack of food will impede their feeding and therefore the new young would die as well.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.
