wrong answer
I apologize for the incorrect response. A density-independent factor is a limiting factor whose effects impact a population regardless of the population's density. This means that it can affect a population regardless of how dense or sparse it is. Examples of density-independent factors include natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, or droughts, as well as extreme temperatures or pollution events. These factors can have significant effects on population size or distribution, regardless of the population's density.
