Question

Q6.4. The graphs below depict hypothesized population dynamics (population size, N, vs. time) for a predator-prey system. Based on what you've learned in this lab by investigating moose and wolf population cycles, which graph best represents a predator-prey system, and which curve (blue or red) describes dynamics for the predator species? Time Time The graph on the left is the best representation, and the predator's curve is blue. The graph on the left is the best representation, and the predator's curve is red. The graph on the right is the best representation, and the predator's curve is blue. The graph on the right is the best representation, and the predator's curve is red.

Explanation / Answer

The graph on the right is the best representation, and the predator's curve is red.
