Using information given answer the following question. males decreases within about five months (3-4 generations).The effects of predators on guppy coloration have beenstudied in artificial ponds with mild, aggressive, and nopredators, and by similar manipulations of natural streamenvironments (Endler, 1980).Assuming ideal conditions with abundant food and space andno predators, what would happen if a mating pair of guppieswere placed in a large pond?The guppy population would grow slowly at first, then would grow rapidly, andthousands of guppies would fill the pond.The guppy population would never become very large, because only organismssuch as insects and bacteria reproduce in that manner.O The guppy population would grow slowly, as guppies would have only thenumber of babies that are needed to replenish the population.O The guppy population would continue to grow slowly over time. Use the following information for Questions 5-7:Venezuelan guppiesGuppies are small fish found in streams in Venezuela. Maleguppies are brightly colored, with black, red, blue andiridescent (reflective) spots. Males cannot be too brightlycolored or they will be seen and consumed by predators, but ifthey are too plain, females will choose other males. Naturalselection and sexual selection push in opposite directions.When a guppy population lives in a stream in the absence ofpredators, the proportion of males that are bright and flashyincreases in the population. If a few aggressive predators areadded to the same stream, the proportion of bright- coloredmales decreases within about five months (3-4 generations).The effects of predators on guppy coloration have beenstudied in artificial ponds with mild, aggressive, and nopredators, and by similar manipulations of natural streamenvironments (Endler, 1980).

Population models help us to determine how and in what conditions an organism will show what type of growth. What are the factors that will promote growth and what are the factors that will hinder. How an organism will react to any change in conditions and its spread. Answer: a. the guppy would grow slowly at first, the would grow rapidly, and thousands of guppies would fill the pond. Explanation: As they will get ideal conditions firstly they will adjust to the conditions and will show slow growth. Then after getting adjusted to the conditions they will start growing fast till their number increases up to the carrying capacity of the region.
