Question

bellwork: 1. which color of the line graph best suits the scenario? why? a population of ten deer live in the habitat shown. during one year the following events occur: 1. in the dry season the river is particularly low & 3 deer immigrate to the original population. 2. one is killed by a hunter. 3. four fawn (baby deer) are born in the late spring. 4. one male deer reaches puberty & is forced to emigrate from this population by the other large male in the area. population over time # of deer instance of population measurement

Explanation:

The scenario involves tracking deer population changes: initial 10, +3 (immigration), -1 (hunter), +4 (births), -1 (emigration). The red line shows increases/decreases matching these events (e.g., initial rise with immigration), while the yellow line starts with a decline, inconsistent with the first event.

Answer:

Red. The red line's trend (initial increase from immigration, subsequent changes from death, births, and emigration) aligns with the described population dynamics.
