Determine the stability of each ecosystem.

an ecosystem with
populations that mate
with unrelated species

an ecosystem that has
very few species at every
trophic level

an ecosystem with populations
that mate with only related
species

an ecosystem that has many
species at every trophic level

(less stable) (more stable)

Answer:

An ecosystem with populations that mate with unrelated species - More Stable

An ecosystem that has very few species at every trophic level - Less Stable

An ecosystem with populations that mate with only related species - Less Stable

An ecosystem that has many species at every trophic level - More Stable

Step-by-step explanation:

I just wanted to shorten the answer. :) I hope it helped.

Answer:

  • For the first statement: An ecosystem with populations that mate with unrelated species.

The ecosystem will more stable. The mating with unrelated specie will create the ability to cop with any disaster and the chances of extinction of any specie will become very less.

  • For the second statement: an ecosystem that has very few species at every trophic level.

Less stable.

An ecosystem which has a very low number of species ins not so stable because of less biodiversity. Biodiversity is directly proportional to the stability of the specie.

  • For the third statement: An ecosystem with populations that mate with only related species.

Less stable.

The specie which does not have the ability to mate with unrelated specie makes an unstable ecosystem. Because if any thing happens to the ecosystem like climate change, that specie will unable to evolve and go extinct immediately.

  • For the fourth statement: An ecosystem that has many species at every trophic level .

More stable:

The ecosystem having a large number of biodiversity at each trophic level leads to a stable an ecosystem. Because biodiversity is directly proportional to the stability of the specie.
