The Lotka-Volterra model produces consistently identical cycles because it is deterministic. The lynx and hare simulation on the right does not, because it is stochastic. Run the simulation again now with the controls below, paying attention to the animals in the enclosure at the top. Given the differences between these two types of models, why would it be difficult to determine accurate values for the four parameters in the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model (a, prev, m, b) for animals in the real world?

a. In the real world, individual predators do not differ in their ability to search for prey
b. In the real world, random and unpredictable events occur, so the Lotka-Volterra parameters vary over time.
c. In the real world, prey population sizes constantly change, and the Lotka-Volterra model fails to account for this
d. In the real world, biological interactions are so complex and dynamic that models have no relevance.

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
