Question

Grass → Rabbit → Weasel → Fox → Fungi Which population would most likely increase if the weasel was removed from the food chain?

Answer 1

the rabbit's population as it has less predators to eat it.

Answer 2

The rabbit population would increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weasel is the rabbit's predator in the food chain shown in the question above. If the weasels disappeared from the environment, the rabbits would be left without predators, which would allow the population of rabbits to grow, since the collections would die only from natural causes and not from predatorism. Thus, the rabbits' birth rate would be higher than the mortality rate, causing the population to grow.
