- The cane toad has been introduced to some ecosystems to reduce the number of

pests that damage crops. In the areas where they have been introduced, none of the
predators are immune to the protective toxins the toad produces. What is a probable
outcome from the introduction of the cane toad in the following 10 years?

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The crops will not deplete the soil. The Frog will not lose its toxin because nothing bad comes from that trait. A predator cannot adapt to a toxin in the span of only ten years. The insect population should deplete because the frog should multiply and concur the population of pests since the frog doesn't have any predators.
