Answer:

a population of hawks

The hawks' population restricts the number of ground squirrels. Consequently, the hawks act as a limiting factor for ground squirrels. These birds of prey rely on squirrels for food. An increase in hawk numbers in their environment poses a threat to the squirrels. Conversely, tree squirrels do not impact ground squirrel numbers. Likewise, genetic variation and breeding seasons do not present limiting factors for their population either.

Thus, the right response is 'option B - a population of hawks'.

Answer:

c. Would not conform to the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio

Explanation:

When two genes are located close together on the same chromosome, the F2 generation's phenotype would not align with the 9:3:3:1 ratio.

Genes that are closely located on the same chromosome are known to be linked, and they exhibit a higher frequency of recombination compared to those that are not linked.

Consequently, while independently assorting genes yield a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in F2, linked genes do not assort independently, resulting in deviations from the expected standard phenotypic ratio.

The right option is c.
