In a marine ecosystem, starfish prey upon the common mussel. common mussels feed upon plankton. what is most likely to happen if the number of starfish is increased?

The answer is;

The numbers of mussels would reduce

Planktons population would increase.

This is a phenomenon common in food chains where a reduction in predator population increases the prey population and vice versa.  This is because the species population in a food chain/food web are interlinked and source energy from one another directly or indirectly.

i would say that hybridization occurs frequently in nature, because there are many types of hybrids that have occurred naturally, such as the mule (male donkey + female horse)

the supermassive black hole is in the middle of the galaxy.
