Two different species of deer are housed in two separate areas of a wildlife park. The initial population of species A was 300, and the population is increasing by 15% every year. The initial population of species B was 400, and the population is increasing by 7% every year.Use the given information to determine when the two species will have the same population.After years, the populations of the two species will be approximately equal, with deer of each species.

A population of mice has 2,000 individuals. They have a death rate of 160 per year and a birth rate of 160 per year. Assuming 19 mice migrate into the population and 19 migrate out of the population per year, how many individuals would there be after the first year? (To answer, write numerals in the box below.) Fill in the blank

A population of squirrels eats acorns from the local oak trees. Some years, oak trees produce many more acorns than usual.  Which of the following is the most direct effect of an increase in the number of acorns on the squirrel population?*2 puntosThe size of the population increasesThe population has fewer predatorsThe population expands its territory to new habitatsPopulation size decreases due to competition
