The food web would collapse since there isn't much biodiversity.

Spiders would adapt to fill the open niche.

There would be less plants as other animals consumed plants instead of grasshoppers.

Nothing would happen, the food web would be fine.

Which of the following explains how the parts in the picture control inherited traits?

Genes which are found on chromosomes in the vacuole of a cell determine inherited traits.

Chromosomes which are found on genes in a cell's vacuole determine inherited traits.

Which of the following best explains the relationship between structures X and Y?

X, chromosomes, are located inside Y, the nucleus, and these structures store genetic material for the cell.

X, the nucleus, is located inside Y, chromosomes, and these structures provide energy for the cell.

As temperatures on land increased, animals spent more time in the water.

It was difficult for organisms to find a mate on land.

Other predators preyed on the whale's ancestor, so it was safer for them in the water.
