Editing my answer after I thought again.
Hi
The answer is 2 .
Diseased mouse is eaten by Owl. And it's the only prey for OWL. Hence owl population will decrease drastically and eventually die due to lack of food.
Wildcats, snakes end up eating diseased mouse and hence they might be infected as well causing the lion to be infected and die. There is possibility that lion population starts to decrease as well.

Can someone ans this question in a scientific way:-


A metal rod is partially is submerged into an ice water. After sometimes, why is the other end of the rod becomes cool also?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so the part that is submerged will lose its heat to the ice water quickly. And since heat travels from a hotter place to a colder place, the other end of the metal will also lose heat to the ice, causing it to be cold eventually.

note: there is no such thing as colder place. it is called cooler place.

Hi
The answer is 1 as the owl ONLY feeds on the mouse.Thus,when the mouse population decreased,the owl population was directly affected and would decrease.The lion population would decrease slightly as the population of the snakes decreased as there were fewer mice to eat and result in the decrease of the kite population.When the kite population decreased,the lion population would decrease as there is fewer kites to eat.But,it will remain after some time as there is still the goat and the wild cat populations to feed on.

my answer was 1. but ans key says 2. any reasons?

Hi
Cell division means that the nucleus makes a copy of itself before splitting into two nuclei.Thus,two daughter cells are produced.

Budding does not have the parent cell divide into two daughter cells.Instead,a bud would grow on the parent cell and would break off from the parent cell when one of the duplicated nuclei is in the daughter cell.
The nucleus in the parent cell would make a copy of itself when the new bud enlargens but have not break off from the cell.

budding is only for yeast. cell division is for all cells except red blood cell.

nyways, there is no arrow to show that lions feed on kites. kite is also the predator so lion doesnt eat it. that doesnt affect answer but just for information.
