If sea lamprey increase in population and decrease the native fish population, the sea lamprey population will eventually collapse (decrease rapidly). This would be an example of feedback. 1. Positive 2. Negative 3. Neutral 4. None of the above

Negative feedback

Explanation:

Feedback mechanism is activated due to the change in the system that result into an output.

A negative feedback mechanism is a pathway that is caused by deviation in the output that result in a change in output direction which is usually opposite to the initial deviation.

The process of feeding of sea lamprey on the fish started as a normal pathway the deviation started when they could not feed on the fish again as a result of reduced population and they start dying of hunger. It is a negative feedback
