Question

In a garden with trees and shrubs, green and pink katydids were observed. Over time, birds started feeding on the katydids. Which two statements describe what will eventually happen to the population of the katydids?

A.The population of pink katydids will decrease.
B.The population of green katydids will decrease.
C.The population of green katydids will increase.
D.The population of pink katydids will increase.
E.The population of both pink and green katydids will be equal.

Answer 1

The right options are;

A.The population of pink katydids will decrease.

B.The population of green katydids will decrease.

What will eventually happen to the population of the katydids is that the population of both the pink and green katydids will decrease. The predators which are the birds that feeds on the katydids (prey) will negatively influence the size of the prey populations by reducing them.
