Question

5 categorization 2 points determine which are density dependent and which are density independent factors. density dependent no answers chosen density independent no answers chosen possible answers starvation flood disease fire competition drought 6 multiple choice 2 points a biologist is studying a population of rabbits in a forest. she observes an area of 5 square kilometers and counts 50 rabbits. what is the population density of rabbits in the forest?

Explanation:

Density - dependent factors are influenced by population density. Starvation occurs more when population is high as resources are limited. Disease spreads more easily in dense populations. Competition for resources increases with population density. Density - independent factors affect populations regardless of density. Floods, fires, and droughts are natural disasters that impact populations regardless of how many individuals are present.

Answer:

Density dependent: starvation, disease, competition
Density independent: flood, fire, drought
