What typically happens to a real population's size in relation to its carrying capacity?

Question 5 options:

It exceeds its carrying capacity indefinitely


It oscillates around its carrying capacity


It remains constant and never changes


It falls to zero

Answer 1

It typically oscillates around its carrying capacity, as the population size increases above the carrying capacity, resources become limited and the population declines. This cycle continues as the population increases and decreases in response to the availability of resources.
