Many endangered species are predators that belong to the higher trophic levels. which is the process that primarily affects animals at the highest trophic levels? a)eutrophication b)species diversity c)biomagnification d)genetic diversity e)acid rain

C) biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is a phenomena in which a chemical substance enters into a food chain. The chemical substance remains undigested in the body of the organism and produces detrimental effects. The organisms at the higher trophic levels are most adversely affected as the concentration of chemical substance in such organism is the highest.

Many endangered species are predators which belong to higher trophic levels which means they feed upon organisms of lower trophic levels.  Therefore, the organisms of lower trophic levels when affected by a chemical substance when consumed by the organism of higher trophic levels will result in the biomagnification.  

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
