Chromosome mutations involve the deletion or duplication of many genes. the effects of chromosome mutations are often much greater than mutations within a single gene, because chromosome mutations a. can only occur at the time of fertilization. b. can cause abnormal development of the offspring. c. are always beneficial to the organism. d. are rarely passed on to the next generation.

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
