A) Which of the following is expected to happen to a species' population when resources are

Question

stable over a long period of time and the species have reached carrying capacity? (1 point)
The population will decrease.
The population will stay the same.
The population will increase.
The population will die out.

Answer 1

The population will stay the same.

Answer 2

A) Which factor may increase a rabbit population? (1 point)
decrease in predators
decrease in temperature
decrease in space
decrease in food

Answer 3

decrease in predators

Answer 4

A) A group of mountain gorillas has 10 members. How big is the group after 4 females
emigrate, 2 females immigrate, 2 gorillas are born, and a male dies? (1 point)
9
1
7
13

Answer 5

8

Answer 6

that not a answer

Answer 7

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's do the calculation correctly:

Starting group size: 10 members
After 4 females emigrate: 10 - 4 = 6 members
After 2 females immigrate: 6 + 2 = 8 members
After 2 gorillas are born: 8 + 2 = 10 members
After a male dies: 10 - 1 = 9 members

Therefore, the group size after these changes is 9 members.

Answer 8

A) Predator/prey interactions regulate the populations of both groups. Which chain of events
follows from an increase in predators? (1 point)
increase in prey → decrease in predators → decrease in prey
increase in prey → increase in predators → decrease in prey
decrease in prey → decrease in predators → increase in prey
decrease in prey → increase in predators → decrease in prey

Answer 9

increase in prey → increase in predators → decrease in prey

Answer 10

A) The population change equation is Population change = (Natality – Mortality) + (Immigration
– Emigration). Which equation would create a stable population? (1 point)
natality + immigration = mortality - emigration
natality - mortality = immigration - emigration
natality + immigration = mortality + emigration
natality + mortality = immigration + emigration

Answer 11

natality + immigration = mortality + emigration
