4) If a pheasant population was introduced to a large grassy island with no predators, explain what might happen to their population over the next 10-120 years.
A
The population would stay the same.
B
The population would start reproducing and the population would grow exponentially until the carrying capacity was reached.
C
The population would start reproducing and the population would grow exponentially forever.
D
The population would decrease quickly because they are scared.
5) If the pheasant population grew for awhile, leveled off, and then started decreasing quickly, what are some reasons it might began decreasing.
A
New predator is the only reason populations decrease.
B
Scarcity of food, water, or living space; disease; climate change; or new predator introduced
C
Scarcity of food, water, or living space is the only reason populations decrease.
D
Disease is the only reason populations decrease.
6) In the winter, a family of coyotes crossed over to the island on the frozen lake. What do you think happened to the pheasant population.
A
The pheasant population will increase because they can lay more eggs.
B
The pheasant population will stay the same because they can stay in the trees.
C
The pheasant population will decrease because of a new predator.

The pheasant population will stay the same because they have good camouflage.

Ducks will prey on the raccoon babies.
8) If the duck population decreased, what do you think will happen to the other two populations?

The raccoon and turtle population would decrease.
B
The turtle population would stay the same or go down slightly, but the raccoon population will decrease dramatically.
C
The raccoon and turtle population would increase.
D
The raccoon population would stay the same or go down slightly, but the turtle population will decrease dramatically.

A
The raccoon and duck population would increase.
B
The raccoon and duck population would decrease.
C
The raccoon population would stay the same or go down slightly, but the duck population will decrease dramatically.

A
The turtle population would increase, but the duck population will decrease.
B
The turtle and duck population would decrease.
C
The turtle and duck population would increase.
D
The duck population would increase, but the turtle population will decrease.
11) Some prey species blend with their surroundings while others are brightly colored. How can these defenses help species to survive? Choose the best answer.
A
The brightly colored species can hide from predators. The blended species are usually distasteful or poisonous.
