Gibbons are small apes that live in the trees of southeast asia. a scientist predicts that at the current rate of deforestation in southeast asia, the region's carrying capacity for gibbons will decrease by 10 percent every year. the scientist's prediction provides the strongest support for which of these conclusions? a. the gibbon population will decrease by 5 percent every year until reaching a certain minimum size, which it will maintain. b. the gibbon population will decrease by 10 percent every year until reaching a certain minimum size, which it will maintain. c. gibbons will maintain their current population size as they adapt to new environments. d. gibbons will eventually become extinct in the wild.

Option B

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of any ecosystem depicts the number of people or living organisms than an ecosystem can sustain. It is given that the carrying capacity of forest for gibbon is reducing at the rate of 10% every year, this means that the population of Gibbons is also reducing with the same rate i.e 10%. But since this reduction is continuous, the reduction of Gibbon will also continue till their population reaches a minimum stability level  

Hence, option B is correct

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
