During  a  field  trip,  an  instructor  touched  a  moth  resting  on  a  tree  trunk.  The  moth  raised  its  forewings  to  reveal large eyespots on its hind wings. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory  receptors  had  fired  and  triggered  a  neuronal  reflex  culminating  in  the  contraction  of  certain  muscles.  A second student responded that the behaviour might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations?

#Section 2: Evolution

The demographic transition model depicts demographic changes from high- to low-level births and deaths in five stages

Stage 1 is characterized by total population numbers are low and the high birth rate is balanced by the high death rate.

B) Stage 2 is characterized by high population growth rate is results of high birth rate however, decline death rate

C) Stage 4 is characterized by decline in the proportion of the population in the reproductive age group and these changes stabilizes population size

D) Stage 3 is characterized by falling birth rates and death rates and population growth rate is zero due to the less numbers of people in the reproductive age group
