During fertilization, a zygote inherits DNA from both the sperm and the egg, but the mitochondria and its associated DNA a zygote contains are contributed solely by the
egg, not the sperm. Additionally, during the process of fertilization, the expected
outcome is that each chromosome from the egg has a homologous partner found in
the sperm; with the exception of the Y chromosome in male zygotes. Explain the
differences in patterns of inheritance between the genes in the nuclear DNA, the
mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome.

equal distribution i think.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
