In a certain forest ecosystem, there are lions who prey on deer. The deer eat grass. Which of the following would be the consequences of the deer population increasing? (1 point)
1. There would be increased competition for food among the deer due to limited resources, potentially leading to lower survival rates and overall health of the population.
2. The increased deer population could lead to overgrazing of the grass in the ecosystem, resulting in habitat degradation for other species and a decrease in biodiversity.
3. With more prey available, the lion population would also likely increase to balance out the ecosystem, leading to increased predation pressure on the deer population.
4. The increase in deer population could also lead to a higher likelihood of disease spreading among the animals, due to increased proximity and interaction.
