Question

what type of growth pattern is seen in this graph of lynx (predator) and hare (prey) population changes? an irruptive pattern a cyclical growth pattern a logistic pattern a declining pattern

Explanation:

In predator - prey relationships like lynx and hare, the populations of predator and prey often fluctuate in a repeating, cyclical manner. As the prey population increases, there is more food for the predators, causing the predator population to rise. Then, with more predators, the prey population is reduced, leading to a decrease in the predator population due to lack of food. This cycle repeats.

Answer:

a cyclical growth pattern
