Apopulation of frogs inhabits a lake. if the resource availability of the lake changes, the population may to use the resources that are available. as a result, the population would exhibit .

The population of frogs would exhibit competition due to the limited resources in the lake. Competition can be defined as the interaction among the species of organisms when resources are limited in an ecosystem. The type of competition observed in the above example of the lake with limited resources is called intraspecific competition as it is between the members of the same species competiting for the same resources. The species that do not compete will eventually die or get eliminated. This results in the change of population of frogs over time. Thus, competition is one among the forces that is responsible for natural selection.

First Blank: Adapt

Second Blank: Evolution

Explanation:

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

the answer is d. chordata
