A population of white-footed mice becomes severely overpopulated in a habitat that has been disturbed by human activity. Sometimes intrinsic factors cause the population to increase in mortality and lower reproduction rates in reaction to the stress of overpopulation. Which of the following is an example of intrinsic population control?

In garden peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), Purple Flowers are (P) dominant to white flowers (p), Axial flowers (A) are dominant to terminal flowers (a), and yellow seeds (G) are dominant to green seeds (g). An individual from a true breeding line of tall, purple flowered, axial-flowered, yellow seeded pea plants is mated to an individual from a true breeding line of short, white flowered, terminal-flowered, green-seeded plants. The F1 are allowed to self-fertilize and produce an F2. What proportion of the F2 is expected to exhibit purple flowers and yellow seeds?
