In leprechauns, orange hair is dominant to black hair, and curly hair is dominant to straight hair. O’Leary, a leprechaun who is purebred for orange, straight hair, marries a lassie from the O’Shay clan who has black hair and is heterozygous for hair curliness. They are curious what kind of texture and color hair their future lucky charmed children may have.

What are the parent’s genotypes? x

What are the allele possibilities for Lad O’Leary?

What are the allele possibilities for Lady O’Shay?

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
