Question

Imagine disease kills 85 percent of the wolf population. How will it affect the other organisms?

Answer 1

The prey the wolves ate will increase in population. I feel like there are options to this question.

Answer 2

as @echofire said in the comment section the prey the wolves ate would increase, but the predators that ate the wolves would decrease to no as much wolf population so, there is many ways this question could go! But it all ends with decrease in population and increase.

Answer 3

also 85 percent is a whole lot! its like having a whole cake and having 3/4 of it ate.

Answer 4

Yes, this does seem like a good place to start. I assume it is an open-ended question that can go many ways since there are no options posted.

Answer 5

Exactly!

Answer 6

also that disease could spread to other animals causing decrease in population in all types of animals! which could cause even more problems!
