Question

Domestic cats can begin reproducing as young as six months of age. each female cat can produce two litters per year, containing multiple cats that can also begin reproducing early. what prediction can you make about an ecosystem in which cat populations are not controlled

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ecosystem where if any species is allowed to grow in an environment where exists no competition among the species for survival or in other words if any species is allowed to grow in a resource rich environment then the population of that species will outburst randomly and will keep on growing till the unrestricted supply of resource is available to them.

Answer 2

The gestation period in cats stays for approximately 66 days and in every cycle a cat give birth more than 2 babies so if all cats are producing kittens at this rate, a prediction can be made that there will be lots of cats in our ecosystem. There will be cats everywhere if the number is not controlled.

As mentioned earlier, cats can starts reproducing at a young age of 6 months and right after delivery can get pregnant.
