Select the correct answer.A population of herbivores is at its carrying capacity for its habitat. Which factor is likely to result in a sudden rise in population that far exceeds the carrying capacity? A. birth of young B. emigration C. immigration D. introduction of a new limiting factor

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.

Populations are capable of different speeds of growth depending on whether or not they have a carrying capacity. A carrying capacity refers to a limit on the growth of the population. These limits may involve the amount of food, water, space, or shelter in a location. When a population has a carrying capacity, the growth is represented by a logarithmic model, shown below.Population Ecology Growth Graph by Mathboy321 (CC BY-SA 4.0)Which of the following carrying capacity factors is considered density-independent?Elimination ToolSelect one answerAFood.BNatural disasters.CWater.DShelter.
