Wolves are predators of deer. what is most likely to happen to the deer population if the wolf population increased?
stay the same
increase
decrease
become extinct

The correct answer would be decrease.

Predation is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism gets benefited and other gets harmed. Wolves are the natural predators of deer. They catch and kill the deer and eat their flesh to get nourishment.

So, if the number of wolves increases in the area then they will hunt more and more deer in order to get nutrition. Hence, the number of deer will decrease. However, when the number of deer decreases very low then the wolves will start dying due to scarcity or hunger.

In this way, the balance between wolves and deer will set up again in the nature and thus the population of deer can decrease but will never extinct.
