Suppose a small island is home to two troops of monkeys. Every year, a certain fraction of each troop of monkeys are killed by predators. Every summer, each surviving pair of monkeys has one child. In this simplified model, the monkey population would look something like this:
Troop #1: Troop #2:
Year Season Number of
Monkeys
1 Spring 7
Summer 10
2 Spring 8
Summer 12
3 Spring 9
Summer 13
4 Spring 10
Summer 15
Year Season Number of
Monkeys
1 Spring 7
Summer 10
2 Spring 9
Summer 13
3 Spring 11
Summer 16
4 Spring 14
Summer 21
The first troop spends more time on the ground. The second troop spends more time in the trees.
Compare the sizes of the two monkey troops through time. Which of the following statements about the monkey troops is true?
A.
Because members of the first troop were better able to reproduce, more of them were able to avoid predators.
B.
Because members of the second troop were better able to reproduce, more of them were able to avoid predators.
C.
Because members of the first troop were better able to avoid predators, more of them were able to reproduce.
D.
Because members of the second troop were better able to avoid predators, more of them were able to reproduce.
