Consider the following food chain: plants are eaten by grasshoppers, which are eaten by mice, which are eaten by snakes. what will happen to snakes in the long term if mice become extinct? a. the number of snakes will increase temporarily, and then decrease. b. the number of snakes will decrease permanently, but they will not die out completely. c. the number of snakes will decrease temporarily and then increase. d. snakes will die out if they do not find an alternative food source.

In the food chain you have just described, mice are the snakes main/only food source. If mice become extinct, the snake population will decrease until the point where they die out, if no other food source is found.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

the dna of humans and mice is almost 92% similar. this similarity indicates that . mice have a tail, while humans have a tailbone. the tailbone is a structure in humans.yes it's true.
