Density Dependent and Density Independent factors both have impacts on population sizes. Which statement below best explains this concept.(1 point)

Question

Responses

Density Dependent factors only affect large populations, until all the resources are gone and the population emmigrates elsewhere, while density independent factors affect only small, single species populations.
Density Dependent factors only affect large populations, until all the resources are gone and the population emmigrates elsewhere, while density independent factors affect only small, single species populations.

Density Dependent factors are temprary & only affect singe species communities causing the species to die out due to lack of genetice diversity, while density independent factors affect only large, multi-species populations.

Density Dependent factors affect populations based on size or density, meaning their impact increases as the population gets larger, while density independent factors affect a population regardless of its size. Natural disasters (eg floods, tornadoes), impact all individuals equally regardless of population density.

All of the above

Answer 1

The statement that best explains the concept of density dependent and density independent factors is:

Density Dependent factors affect populations based on size or density, meaning their impact increases as the population gets larger, while density independent factors affect a population regardless of its size. Natural disasters (e.g., floods, tornadoes), impact all individuals equally regardless of population density.

This statement accurately captures the essential differences between density dependent and density independent factors in relation to their impacts on population sizes.
